April 22, 2009
Locum Leaders today announced the launch of Locum Link, an innovative social media initiative for locum tenens providers featuring career and lifestyle blogs, links to Facebook and other popular social networks, and clinical updates offered in partnership with a leading online community for clinicians.

Locum Link is found on the Locum Leaders website. Highlights of the site include:
- Regularly-updated blogs on Travel, Finance, High-Tech Gadgets and Job Placement advice from Locum Leaders' recruiters.
- Access to real-time job updates through Twitter.
- Links to the Locum Leaders community on Facebook.
- World class education and clinical updates from QuantiaMD, an interactive clinician community offering online and mobile multimedia content.
"We're committed to building relationships with our physician and CRNA job seekers. We view social media and online communities, like Facebook, as important tools that strengthen and add value to these relationships," said Will Drescher, CEO, Locum Leaders.
