Be a Weekend Warrior with Locum Tenens Work

Some physicians think that locum tenens positions require a commitment of several months. But there are many options available with locum tenens work, depending on your medical specialty and your career goals. For example, hospitalists often work in time blocks of 10-12 hours for 5-7 days, and then they have 5-7 days off. Consequently, a hospitalist might have as much as 20 weeks off per year. This type of schedule can easily accommodate a hospitalist locum tenens job, especially the short-term, weekend work that's always in demand when hospitals need a substitute for another physician who is away or ill.

If you are looking to expand your skills or increase your income, investigate weekend hospitalist locum tenens work. A specialized physician staffing agency can help you find the right locum tenens job that fits into your overall work schedule, whether you have a week or a weekend.
