PhysicianWork: Dr. Swift, thanks for taking the time to chat today. Let’s start with a simple question—why should physicians consider Locum Tenens?
Dr. Logan Swift: It’s simple—more money, more flexibility, and less stress. Full-time doctors are drowning in admin work, long shifts, and hospital politics. Locum Tenens puts doctors back in control. You work when you want, where you want, and earn 30-50% more than most permanent positions.
PhysicianWork: That’s a strong statement. How much can physicians actually make doing Locum Tenens?
Dr. Logan Swift: The numbers don’t lie. A Locum Tenens physician can make $300K-$400K a year while working just a few months. The highest-paying specialties? Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, and Psychiatry. And if you're open to working in rural or high-demand areas, your earning potential goes up even more.
PhysicianWork: Some doctors hesitate because they think Locum Tenens isn’t stable. What’s your response?
Dr. Logan Swift: That’s a total myth. The demand for locum physicians has never been higher. Hospitals need doctors—now more than ever. If you’re credentialed and ready to work, there will always be high-paying shifts available.
PhysicianWork: If a physician is interested, what’s the fastest way to get started?
