The Locums Tenens Strategist | Create A Career And Lifestyle On Your Terms
Imagine getting booked for your dream locums gig. Everything looks great, you've done all the paperwork, your plane tickets and hotel is booked and you are getting ready to leave for an assignment and you get a call from your recruiter telling you that they couldn't get you through credentialing! It happens, especially when working with inexperienced recruiters that look the other way and ignore red flags or don't properly qualify their candidates. While some things are out of your control, one thing that is in your control is making sure you have a solid list of references that you can count on. In this episode I'll be breaking down how you can set yourself up for success by asking your recruiter exactly what you need to pass credentialing and not leave it to chance. I'll also share with you some nightmare scenarios that can happen when you don't get intentional about cultivating your list of locum tenens advocates (aka references). I will also tell you exactly what I would do if I was a physician looking for locum tenens work.

Dr. Dan Field explains how he went from retirement to ardent CMO in this week's interview. Dr. Dan Field is the chief medical officer for MDstaffers, recently ranked the 49th fastest-growing company in the United States. There, he oversees all clinical staff operations and quality assurance. He also oversees the Medical Expert staffing component. Dan is a board-certified emergency medicine physician who practiced for more than 30 years. He serves the California Medical Board as an expert reviewer and consultant. He is an expert witness for cases involving personal injury, criminal law, standard of care, and malpractice, and is a featured speaker, panelist, media physician, and talk show guest. Dr. Field received his medical degree from the University of California at San Francisco, followed by an internship at Highland Hospital in Oakland. He then completed his EM residency at University Hospital in Cincinnati. I advise you to listen closely as Dan talks about how he pursued interests that satisfied his need for autonomy, variety, accomplishment, and reward. And he notes that humans are not made to BE happy but to PURSUE happiness. Then he provides practical advice about stacking new skills to prepare for your next career. A pertinent example he provides is to work as a state medical board reviewer to gain experience before embarking on a medical expert consulting side business. We cover two important topics today: preparing for the transition from retirement from medicine to your next career, and how to prepare to do medical expert consulting. Using a company such as MDstaffers to help you learn necessary skills and find your first clients is one way to accelerate the process of growing that side job. I have no financial relationship with the company, but I think exploring MDstaffers at mdstaffers.com is a good place to look for locums jobs and medical expert witness consulting engagements. And from what Dan sees, he or one of his colleagues can help you to prepare to get started.

Now that I have a good connection with this Community Health Center, I can come back and work here regularly as a per diem. This is a great way for me to live in Spain and still earn good money as a physician in the US. I can spend 3 months in Spain and 3 months in the US. Or work in the US for 3 months and live the rest of the time in Spain. If you do the math that's $43,000 in just 3 months. More than enough money to live comfortably in Spain for the whole year.

Dr. Andrew Wilner is a neurologist and epileptologist who spent years as a full-time medical writer. Now he is Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center where he provides direct patient care and teaches neurology residents on the inpatient and outpatient services. In Part 1, we heard about Andrew’s journey from internal medicine in the U.S., to neurology training in Canada, from clinical medicine to full time medical writer and back. We’ll also hear about his very early locum tenens-like position working in an emergency room. In Part 2, Andrew describes his return to clinical medicine. Prior to taking his current position at the U. of Tennessee, he phased back into practice doing locum tenens work. It was those experiences that led to writing and publishing his latest book The Locum Life: A Physician’s Guide to Locum Tenens. Locums work can be part of a balanced approach to a physician’s career, mixing clinical and nonclinical. Locums is similar to another recent clinical innovation, telemedicine, which can also offer the flexibility needed to supplement nonclinical endeavors. In addition to discussing locums work, Andrew describes how he went about writing and publishing his book. And he outlines his approach to writing in general. You can purchase a copy of Andrew’s book The Locum Life: A Physician’s Guide to Locum Tenens by going to andrewwilner.com or vitalpe.net/wilnerbook. You can find links to the resources mentioned in today’s interview, and a transcript of the entire interview, by going to the show notes at vitalpe.net/episode076.
In this two-part interview, Dr. Andrew Wilner explains how he started as an internist, then found himself at McGill University in Montreal studying neurology a few years later. He went on to become an epilepsy specialist. Shortly thereafter, he took a detour into a career as a full-time medical writer that lasted ten years. When he decided to get back into clinical medicine, he gave locum tenens a try and found that it fit beautifully into his lifestyle. In Part 1 of the interview, we focus on his early days and his success as a medical writer. He explains that he was a writer all through school. Later, combining his writing skills with his medical knowledge gave him an advantage over other writers who did not have the medical degree or clinical experience that he did. He wrote regular columns for written publications, initially. When the Internet exploded, he added Medscape, KevinMD and other online publications to his list of publishers. He also wrote several books during that time. In Part 2, you will hear more about his experience with the "locum life," and how those experiences translated into his latest book The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens.
This week, Dr. Nana Korsah describes her journey from burnout to balance. She reached a point where her own well-being, and her family's, were suffering. She had an "aha moment" when she realized she could find her true calling, and engaged a physician career and life coach. She made some drastic changes, tried a few different things, and sought training to become a life and financial coach. It all clicked when she found she could combine the flexibility of clinical work as a locum tenens hospitalist, with her nonclinical work as a coach. Now her burnout is gone, and she is building her coaching business. She is especially passionate about helping professionals recognize that excessive debt and lack of a sound financial plan are major contributors to burnout. It weighs on our psyche, and reduces our freedom to make important changes in our lives. Learn from Nana's experiences, and begin your journey to the life you were born to live.
In today's episode, we continue to learn more about Carrie's Locums Life and really focus in on the realities of locums and how they differ from a traditional job.

In this episode, you will learn: The realities of locums and how they differ from traditional jobs. How the lack of job security in locums can be difficult and unpredictable. Why you should always have a backup position lined up so you don't lose income. How you may have to wait a while to get into a new position based on your specialty and the time it takes to get credentialed. Why it's super important to have a hefty emergency fund for time in-between jobs. How you might want to look into getting licensed in states, that have jobs available, ahead of time so you don't have to wait for licensing later on. Why Carrie feels that she appreciates her work and specialty more now that she has had some time off and started locums in a new location.
