Live life on your terms
Dr. Simran Kalra, a pediatrician based in Virginia, says locum tenens was a great work option when she was expecting her baby because she could work as much as she wanted and didn’t have to worry about the maternity leave policy and potentially losing pay for taking more time off.
“Because of locum tenens, I can balance my time with my family, my time for my profession, time for my patients, and time for myself. I think everybody should try locum tenens.”
