locum tenens

Hi! I was recently talking to a couple of friends who are pursuing fellowship (PICU and PCards to be specific) and mentioned they've started taking some locums gigs at urgent care clinics during their off days while the other took up telehealth, both in their respective states. Has anyone had...

I work full time in a hospital in the Midwest however for family reasons I have to move to the Bay Area. I was considering locums for a starter for flexibility and to learn more about the area/market. I was wondering what would be the average rate and how to reach out to hospital groups (I would...

Hi all, I'm in the infancy stages of starting a locum tenes company. I'm currently an administrator that has partnered with a pulmonologist to begin this company. I'm curious if there are other young ambitious physicians interested in being a part of this business? I'm happy to share more...

I am looking to learn more about what physicians know about locum tenens. Mostly what you are told as a resident/fellow or while in medical school. Is the option to "go locum" presented as a career option?

Is it possible to buy HI at a reasonable plan (including dependents), while on a locum job? What plans are out there for families living on a 1099 income?

Everyone hates me! No seriously, no one likes being called by a locum tenens recruiter. I asked this question on another thread, but I'm trying to take a different approach to the industry by asking first hand students, graduates, and tenured psychiatrists on here. Unfortunately my job is...

Major questions are bolded. I have struggled to get into residency for a number of reasons and I need advice about my options. I’m not sure how many details to include. I have not been able to reach anyone at my med school and feel so alone. I graduated from med school in 2015 in NV but did...

How much can you expect to get paid as a locus tenens psychiatrist if you're willing to travel anywhere in the country? Can anyone give me an average daily rate? Also, can you expect to be occupied every month with a locum tenens gig? Wondering if you can work it as a full time job in...

When reading discussions on here it seems psych locums gigs pay maybe a little more than 100/hr. Of course location and other factors affect these numbers, but the impression I get is that if money were the only factor, one could reliably work year-round at around 150/hr. Then I see things like...

Say you had three years to work your butt off as an internal medicine doctor. No kids, no family. Maybe one day off in a week, two max. You get 8 hours of sleep in the night, but work for the rest of the time you're up. So what's the best way to make the most amount of money in that say 15...
