I am serious. Is this for real?
Yes it is.
Just got this post - maybe $200/hr or less depending on the hours?
Are you available to work Pathology Locums in Houston? $1600 per day. Some weeks have on-call needs with additional compensation. Mix of cases. Some weeks are for AP CP. Other weeks need GI or GU or Breast expertise.

Better than $840 a day lol. This position was for Midwest btw. Not a desirable city to live in either.
What are the rates you see for locums for Pathologists?

And THIS is the kind of crap you pay. I will almost GUARAN -GD-TEE you that your managerial staff makes a hell of a lot more than this. How the worm has turned! Perhaps- - -,
forget it. I’d get banned.

How much is the daily rate you are offering?

Being honest locum is best when you’re just getting out of residency because you don’t have much responsibilities that have a family and you can travel anywhere in a country for a short period time take time off and still make more money than those who have a permanent job at the hospital. And it’s also great for people who are retiring and their kids are at college they can also travel as well as do their practice in different cities and take time off whenever they want and work whenever they want.
It’s really depends on your specialty some provider easy make 4k a day or more
That awful rates
Cmon man you’re in the Pathology forum. We are asking for pathology locum rates per day that you are seeing.

And i just said it sucks.
why does it sucks
That rate I would say is reasonable for an AP/Dermpath. However, in my area the rate for a general AP/CP is around 1,000/day.
Do transfusion medicine locums positions exist?
Doubt it. It’s all oversight that can be done by a lab tech in the blood bank or by a covering clinician or nurse for an apheresis service. Locums only exists in AP because someone has to push the glass and generate a report.
Not a position
Yeah $1000 a day sucks even more so if you’re living in a high cost city . Dermpath is different story. That rate does sound reasonable esp if your pushing dermpath.
That's for dermpath. Do you have rates for general?
We are Pathologists. We are asking about locums rates for GENERAL pathologists. Thanks.
CompHealth quoted me anywhere from 1800-2300/day for a pathologist. As far as what the pathologist's cut is... I have no idea. I haven't checked in recent months, but I am pretty sure that the daily rate is still around that ballpark.

Depends on volume and region of the country. It's significantly more than what used to be the norm. I guess it depends on what you think you're worth. Are you worth more or less than 1250/day (which is what I am guess is take home pay for the pathologist)?

I wonder why that guy has a hard time getting a "good" job? I just got a PM from him for a message I sent him like a year ago and his response was "f**ck off".
Saw this on LinkedIn - thought it was relevant to the locums discussion here - looks like the average locums firm makes more than what they give to the pathologist! This was from a post from a locums agency that charges a flat rate (not % based) for staffing. You can PM me for more information about the firm if you're interested (*disclaimer - I am not associated to this firm, just a connection on LI).

Saw that too. But when i see splashy adds directed at those who feel underpaid/ desperate I just see it as a fancified way to reap more money from our labors. Talk is cheap.
I 100% believe it. I do think the good times are coming to an end for these agencies. I have heard from many they can't find any pathologists. The only way that will change is if they pay more.

And fewer paths in the pool will go a long way.
