Locum Leaders Awarded Federal Locum Tenens Contract
January 15, 2010
Locum Leaders will match hospitalists and other physician specialists to federal locum tenens jobs starting today.
The company has been awarded a multi-year Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) Contract (GSA contract # V797P-7246A). The contract expands the company's scope of services, authorizing it to provide locum tenens staffing for federal healthcare facilities, including the Veterans' Administration (VA), Indian Health Service (IHS) and Department of Defense (DoD) facilities.
As a national leader in hospitalist locum tenens, Locum Leaders will actively recruit and place hospitalists seeking government assignments. Other medical specialties covered under the contract include internal medicine, anesthesiology and CRNA. Locum Leaders is a government-certified small business and can accept 100% small business set aside contracts.
"We're pleased to expand our recruiting services to include federal healthcare assignments," said Will Drescher, CEO, Locum Leaders. "The FSS contract is a testament to our quality and stability, and opens up significant new placement opportunities for our locum tenens providers."
Temporary assignments at a government facility are attractive to physicians for a variety of reasons. Federal facilities recognize any state medical license, offering greater choice for locum tenens providers. In addition, federal assignments are often long-term, providing stability for the physician and continuity of care for the facility.
Locum Leaders encourages physicians interested in government locum tenens opportunities to contact its offices at 877-562-8656 or info@locumleaders.com.
