Why You Will Love the Locum Life

On this week’s episode of the PNC podcast, Dr. Andrew Wilner explains why locum tenens may be the best way to bring freedom and joy back into your career.

Andrew is an experienced internist, neurologist and epileptologist. He is also the author of The Locum Life and a locum tenens expert. This Latin phrase describes someone who fills in for another, like a substitute teacher. 

The life of a locum tenens doctor brings some special challenges, but can bring much more freedom and control to your career. The locum life allows you to:

Fight physician burnout by making your own schedule.  Remain in clinical practice on your own terms. Travel and work in various hospitals in sometimes exotic locations. Customize the kinds of jobs you accept.

Listen to the episode to hear Andrew’s tips on how to successfully schedule your jobs as a locum tenens doctor, and his perspective on how the pandemic has affected locums around the country.
