Locum tenens can be a great way for military physicians to expand their clinical expertise, earn extra income, and make connections in civilian medicine.Â
One of the benefits of locum tenens is that it gives physicians the freedom to try different practices as they figure out what they want their careers to look like––like Dr. Jane Benson, who found a new career path through locums.
Private practice can be an attractive option for physicians who want more control over their schedules, but it’s not the only option: locum tenens gives you the flexibility to cultivate other areas of your life.
Dr. James Scardo thought he was done with medicine when he retired. But while he didn’t miss the 100-hour work week, he did miss patient care. Locums tenens was there to fill the gap.Â
