“The part I like best about locums is that you don’t have to be a slave to politics. There’s a lot of office politics in everything, not just hospitals. Locums allows you to just focus on the medical part, which is why you went to medical school.”
Dr. Faisal Shamshad, Interventional CardiologistRead more -
“One of the nice things about locums is you get to pick and choose your schedule. For one assignment, I chose to work 10 days straight. My current assignment is one week on and three weeks off."

Live life on your terms.
Interventional cardiologist Dr. Gregory Kloehn first discovered locums after the hospital he worked at closed. He found himself looking for a new job, but he wanted to stay local and in his own house. Locum tenens allowed him to keep working until the right position came along.
“Locums was a great intermediary,” he says. “I used it to keep up my skills and keep doing what I was trained to do. I really couldn’t do that as easily where I was because of political elements and a lot of competition. I had to really work hard to find a better place. So locums was perfect in my situation.”
