New Podcast with the Locum Strategist
I had a fantastic time chatting with Simon Parsons on The Locum Strategist Podcast about making a physician career work on your own terms.
The self-directed nature of Locum Tenens has transformed my career, allowing me to pursue my passion for travel alongside practicing medicine. In the last three years, I’ve completed assignments across the country, from Northern Ohio to adventurous stints in South Carolina, California, Montana, and Alaska.
The best part? I earn a full-time salary (or more) while working only 220 to 250 days a year. This schedule allows for essential extended time off between assignments.
We also dove into the practical side: how to successfully vet and work with locum agencies, identify key red flags, and the importance of thorough preparation.
Ready to take control of your schedule?

My core advice to anyone considering travel medicine is simple: Try it. Assignments can be as short as a week or two. If the fit isn't right, you are not locked into a long-term contract!
