Admittedly broad and open-ended, it’s usually someone’s way of saying, “I’m interested in locum tenens, but I’ve never done it and don’t know what to expect.”  It’s a conversation starter that often leads to a series of more specific questions about pay, travel, insurance, credentialing—you name it.

The reality of my job as a recruiter is that I provide a lot of education to our potential candidates.  I try to help you understand whether locum tenens is a fit for your current or future situation, and then we’ll usually end up talking in greater detail about the specifics and logistics of a locum tenens assignment.

Resources for Research
If you’re just starting your research on locum tenens, let me recommend a few resources.  For starters, check our website and our Frequently Asked Questions page.  Other great web-based resources are NALTO, the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations, and LocumLife, a publication dedicated exclusively to locum tenens physicians.

Another tip:  talk to someone who does locum tenens.  You may know a friend or someone at your current workplace and they can be a good resource for advice.

The bottom line is, don’t worry if you don’t know the right questions to ask—just start asking.  I’m here to help, so call or email anytime and let’s get started!
