May 28, 2010, Newsletter Issue #50: Don’t Know What You Want In A Physician Job? Try Temping

Tip of the Week

It’s normal not to know exactly what you want in a physician job. Even if you have some idea, physician job sites don’t always tell the whole story of what a practice setting may be like or what duties the physician jobs entail. If you want to test out a practice setting or location, seek out physician staffing agencies whose business includes temporary physician staffing.

A short-term or locum tenens position is an ideal way to determine what factors are important to your personal and professional satisfaction. You can choose a large hospital, a small group practice or a specialty clinic. You can talk to a physician staffing consultant about your preferences for hours, salary and location.

Sometimes a short-term position will show you that you don’t like a certain type of practice setting or location, and this knowledge is equally valuable in helping you identify what you want in your ideal physician job.
