AnesthesiologyAnesthesiology locum tenens has traditionally been a major driver in the physician staffing industry. Between the physician and CRNA component, literally thousands of hours are covered by locum tenens anesthesia providers every day throughout the United States. Locum tenens anesthesiology is often the preferred staffing method for anesthesiology group practices and hospitals since the use of locums gives them the flexibility to staff up for peak times or pare back coverage to reduce operating expenses when their case loads are down. Because of the nature of the patient interaction, the use of locum tenens is a natural solution to this staffing dilemma that has been prevalent since the 1970’s.Due to the long hours, stress and burnout associated with full-time anesthesiology practice a growing number of anesthesiologists are finding greater “work-life balance” through full-time locum tenens. Now an accepted style of practice, studies show that roughly 40% of anesthesiologists have worked as a locum tenens anesthesiologist at one time or another in their career. Gone are the days when an anesthesiologist resorted to locum tenens to hide from any personality or clinical issues at his or her hospital. Today, locum tenens anesthesiologist are welcomed as colleagues who solve immediate staffing short falls with competency and adaptability. In the past Anesthesia locum tenens were mostly utilized in rural areas, since most anesthesiologists gravitated to anesthesiology jobs located in the urban and suburban hospitals. With the proliferation of outpatient surgery centers, coupled with a mismatch in supply and demand, this is no longer the case. Major metropolitan hospitals and even teaching institutions are now finding themselves in short supply of anesthesiologists and are contracting with locum tenens agencies to provide anesthesia locums, whether it be for general anesthesia, cardiac anesthesia or pain medicine. At last, locum tenens anesthesiologists have become a key component in the provision of high-quality anesthesiology services in America’s healthcare system! Hospital MedicineAs Hospital Medicine has emerged as the nation's fastest-growing medical specialty. Med-Link Staffing has developed an extensive pool of locum tenens internists and hospitalists to assist hospitals and hospitalists groups in meeting the increase in demand for inpatient services. The demand for hospitalist coverage has been likened to the 70s when hospitals looked to outside emergency medicine contract groups, both local and national, to staff their emergency departments. Of the 20,000 + physicians who practice as hospitalists, roughly 75% are general internists.Many of the hospitalist programs rely on locum tenens hospitalists and locum tenens internists to meet their scheduling needs since hospitalists are in such short supply. Most programs schedule each physician for 7 On and 7 Off, so many internists or hospitalists doing locums work may only be available to schedule a few days at a time. Med-Link Staffing has access to both hospitalist willing to do locum tenens work during their off days as well as hospitalist or internists who are available to work a locum tenens hospitalist job on a full-time basis for 2-3 months or up to a year.
