With the spike in popularity of hiring locum tenens physicians in a wide range of specialty fields, we thought we would take a look at just 3 of the reasons locum tenens work can be the ideal career path.

Reason One:  A Hassle-Free Career

A locum tenens physician has no administrative or teaching responsibilities. Nor are there any billing hassles or staff management issues.
For physicians who enjoy their job, and only want to do the job they studied hard for, locum tenens work provides them with the opportunity to only do what they’re good at. Leaving the administrative work for the healthcare facility manager.
There’s also the benefit of having a more defined work schedule. When you’re rostered to work, you’re working. And when you’re off, you’re not on call or expected to work extra hours for free.
You aren’t tied down to one place. If you’re dissatisfied with a place you’re working, there’s no contract that says you have to say. Being locum tenens provides you with the flexibility and peace of mind to (almost) come and go as you please.

Reason Two: Freedom To Travel

For those with the desire to travel for more than a few weeks each year, locum tenens work is the perfect solution.
In fact, the freedom to travel is probably the best-known benefit of locum tenens work. You get to travel, and travel with purpose. You have the unique opportunity to help out communities in diverse places while experience all the benefits that come with seeing and experiencing new places.
Traditionally, this benefit holds more appeal for new physicians looking to start out their career, and to older physicians looking for a little variety as they near retirement.
In recent years, mid-career physicians have taken up the opportunity to travel and explore different parts of the country, as well as be able to control where they go and how much work they do.

Reason Three: Pre-Retirement Planning

Physicians who are ready to retire, or planning on retiring inside a few years, have found locum tenens work appeals to their lifestyle. They want to stay in medicine, but they don’t want to work full-time and they don’t want to handle the running of a practice.
Working locum tenens allows them to maintain their skills in medicine, help people and stay active. This means that healthcare facilities across America are able to benefit from the decades of medical experience and patient care of these ready-to-retire physicians who still want to occasionally work.

The Many Benefits Of Locum Tenens Work

These are just 3 of the benefits of locum tenens work for physicians. Whether you’re just starting out, in the middle of your career and want a change, or aren’t quite ready to give up practicing medicine just yet, locum tenens work could be the answer you’re looking for.
