Dear Locum Tenens Clinicians,

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

-Pablo Picasso 

In honor of National Locum Tenens Week, VISTA  wishes to extend a sincere and tremendous thank-you to locum tenens physicians and advanced practitioners everywhere.

As a healthcare provider, you’ve followed your passion to help others, solve problems, improve care and change lives. As a locum tenens professional, you’re helping fill a critical need across the country—giving healthcare teams support and relief when and where they need it most, and creating meaningful connections with patients along the way. Thank you for choosing this career, for your commitment to your practice and for the positive impact you make!

National Locum Tenens Week occurs the second full week in August each year. Led by the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations® (NALTO®), the program’s annual platform provides the staffing industry a forum to collectively recognize the vital role that locum tenens doctors serve in the delivery of medicine today. National Locum Tenens Week serves to recognize the role locum tenens clinicians play in delivering high-quality care across the United States. 

Without locum tenens providers like you, staffing companies like VISTA couldn’t exist. We’re honored to connect thousands of locum tenens providers with assignments every year, and are inspired by the stories we gather from locum tenens doctors, NPs and PAs making a difference. And lastly, we’re proud of the work we do to find matches between quality healthcare organizations and locum tenens providers. It’s our job to give hospitals, clinics, labs and other facilities the tools they need to care for communities—and help you reap the rewards of satisfying, flexible locum tenens work.

From everyone at VISTA to locum tenens clinicians across the country, THANK YOU. Happy National Locum Tenens Week!
