Flexibility

Thinking about spending a month backpacking in Europe or finally taking a family vacation to a mountain resort? Or perhaps you will like to spend some time living in another state to be closer to friends or a significant other, without making a permanent move. With contracts as short as one month, locums work give Physicians the flexibility to work while traveling and maintain a work-life balance. A Locum Physician is a doctor who temporarily fulfills the duties of another. Locums can pick up shifts any time. Hospital facilities usually reach out to Locum Tenens agencies, such as Procenture Healthcare Solutions, whenever a doctor needs to take an extended leave or when extra coverage is needed during peak seasons.

Physician Assistants can make an average of $100 per hour.  Locum Physicians also receive housing and travel reimbursements.

Networking

If you are thinking about finding a permanent home for the future, locum shifts give you an opportunity to explore various facilities and build contacts. Hospital facilities often hire Locum Physicians for a work trial before extending a permanent offer. Most of the positions that are available at Procenture Healthcare solutions are Locums-to-Perm and many of our providers have obtained permanent positions with our clients. Locums work is also available for Advanced Nurses and Physician Assistants.
