Minnesota is home to much more than the Mall of America and an endearing accent (dontcha know?). Here are just a few reasons to consider Minnesota when planning your next locum tenens position.

Land of 10,000 Lakes… And Then Some!

In reality, Minnesota has closer to 12,000 lakes, and more shoreline than California, Florida and Hawaii put together. With all that water, it’s no wonder Minnesota has one recreational boat for every six people.

Year-Round Entertainment

Minnesotans enjoy festivals, parades and celebrations across the state and throughout the year. The annual state fair—The Great Minnesota Get-Together—is the largest, most attended fair in the country. Combine that with some of the nation’s top sports venues and you’ll never run out of potential outings. Enjoy golf? Minneapolis has more golfers per capita than any other U.S. city.

Medical & Musical Greatness

The world famous Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, renowned for its doctors’ expertise and the latest treatment methods. Minnesota is also the birthplace of legendary artists in the music industry, including The Andrews Sisters, Judy Garland, Bob Dylan and Prince.

Getting Your License in Minnesota

Here’s what you need to know about Minnesota licensing:

Physicians

  • The licensing process is easy and quick—usually eight to ten weeks
  • Temporary licenses are issued during the process
  • No controlled substance license required

Advanced Practice Providers

Nurse Practitioners

  • Minnesota is not yet part of the Nursing Licensure Compact, but legislation is pending!
  • Licensing generally takes eight weeks

Physician Assistants

  • Licensing generally takes seven weeks
  • Temporary licenses are issued during the process
  • Collaborative agreement required

As a physician, once you’re licensed in Minnesota, you are eligible to take advantage of Wisconsin’s reciprocity license. Contact our knowledgeable licensing department for more information.
