In a recent 2015 Medscape Physician Lifestyle Report, physicians reported experiencing more job-related burnout than other American workers—46% of physicians reported burnout. According to the prior 2013 Lifestyle Report, 39.8% of physicians reported job-related burnout. The number is rising and the effects—physical and emotional—are widely felt among providers. The highest reported rates were among physicians working in critical/emergency care, primary care, surgery, and internal medicine. With such large reported numbers of burnout, is there a solution? Yes, and Locum Tenens is the answer.

From humble roots, the entire locum tenens industry has successfully developed into a cottage industry that very few medical facilities in 2016 can do without.
Locum tenens doctors are an integral part of making healthcare work. Facilities of all sizes use locums to meet short-term staffing needs while professionals who provide the labor are discovering there is more than one way to practice medicine. In short, locum physicians and the positions they fill are on the rise.

It wasn't that long ago that locum tenens providers were not always looked upon favorably by our nation's hospitals. Fortunately, that has changed and the locum tenens industry is continuously growing. According to Becker's Hospital Review, 90% of America's hospitals and healthcare facilities used locum tenens to one degree or another in 2013. That was up from 73.6% the year before.

Demand for locums continues to be high throughout the medical community. Hospitals and medical clinics alike are coming to realize that locums provide valuable services for filling temporary staffing gaps, expanding services, and handling emergencies. In light of that, Beckers Hospital Review put out a 2014 list of locum specialties with the highest demand. Rankings were the result of data compiled from responses to staffing agencies provided by hospitals, medical groups, community health clinics, and government facilities.
The 2014 ranking showed the following five locum specialties in highest demand:

Just two decades ago, there was only a small handful of hospitalists working in the U.S. Now there are tens of thousands, providing value at busy big-city hospitals and their smaller, rural counterparts. There is little doubt that the hospitalist movement has had a profound impact on how healthcare services are delivered to patients. Most of that impact has been tremendously positive.

What Clinics and Hospitals Really Look For in Locum Tenens Providers

The locum tenens industry is one requiring clinics, hospitals, and healthcare facilities to not only examine the medical qualifications of providers filling coverage gaps in schedules—but it’s also an industry where staff members of these organizations must examine the content of the character in the locum tenens providers they select. Below are 5 intangible traits that facilities want their locum tenens providers to exemplify.

Our success in staffing comes from a very basic principle that many somehow manage to forget—the principle of trust. Trust not only means acting like a trustworthy person would, but also entrusting your career to the right recruiting professionals. Again, as many forget, trust is a two-way street. Working with a recruiter who only has his or her best interest at heart, which is an interest incapable of trust, is equivalent to crossing trust’s two-way street without looking both ways.
