This National Locum Tenens Week, we're celebrating the clinicians who show that flexibility isn't just a career benefit—it's what makes a long, fulfilling career in medicine possible.

When Dr. Andrews was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, she needed a new way to practice medicine. Locum tenens gave her the flexibility to care for her health, spend more time with her family, and continue doing what she loves most: caring for patients.

"I've had the flexibility to determine my own schedule and listen to my body."

Dr. Andrews' journey is a reminder that behind every locum assignment is a clinician with a unique story. When providers have the flexibility they need to thrive, patients and communities benefit too.

This National Locum Tenens Week, we're grateful for clinicians like Dr. Andrews who continue making a difference every day.

It's National Locum Tenens Week! It's a time to celebrate the physicians and APPs who keep communities healthy. But here's what we love most about locums: it keeps YOU healthy, too.

You sacrifice so much to ensure patients get the care they need. You show up in underserved communities, bridge staffing shortages, and step in when facilities need it most. You give your time, your energy, and your expertise to keep healthcare running.

But locum tenens gives something back: the freedom to lead the life you want.

The flexibility of a locums career opens doors to pursue what matters most to you, whether that's paying down student loans, building toward retirement, spending more time with family, or finally taking that trip you've been putting off. Locums lets you practice medicine on your terms, so your quality of life doesn't take a back seat to your calling.

Of course, that freedom comes with new considerations — like navigating 1099 income, benefits, and financial planning. That's where we come in.

At Floyd Lee Locums, we believe clinicians deserve support beyond the assignment. From access to a Group Health Benefits Plan to connections with trusted financial professionals, our concierge approach is designed to support you every step of the way, so you can focus on caring for others without sacrificing your own wellbeing.

Here's to clinicians everywhere who prove you can serve your community and yourself.

It's National Locum Tenens Week: a time to celebrate the clinicians who sacrifice so much to keep communities healthy. But what happens when locums gives that quality of life back to YOU?

Just ask Dr. DiChiara. A mother of four and private practice owner who wasn't looking to change careers, just for the right opportunity at the right moment when her family's financial picture shifted. Her Healthcare Consultant, Shannon, called with an opportunity on a Friday. By Monday, Dr. DiChiara was on assignment. She calls it "divine timing."

Locums gave her the flexibility to live the life she wanted and meet the financial needs of her family. This summer alone, she's traveled to Egypt, South Africa, and is heading to Charleston, SC with her daughter, a trip she won from a Floyd Lee Locums contest.

"Locums let me meet the needs of my family and the needs of a client at the exact same time. The flexibility is what makes it all work: the travel, school, the practice, everything."

You sacrifice so much to keep communities healthy. Locums keeps physicians and APPs healthy, too. This Locums Week, we're celebrating clinicians like Dr. DiChiara who prove you can practice medicine on your terms so the life you want doesn't get put on hold.

For Dr. DiChiara, locum tenens arrived at exactly the right time.

As a physician, private practice owner, and mother of four, she needed an opportunity that could provide reliable income without sacrificing the flexibility her family required. When the right assignment became available, our team helped her go from an initial call on Friday to starting work on Monday.

The assignment also offered something more: an opportunity to increase her surgical volume and develop skills she wanted to strengthen.

Dr. DiChiara’s story shows that locums can be more than a temporary job. It can help physicians support their families, grow professionally, and continue practicing medicine on their own terms.

From Locums to Long-Term Stability

Locum tenens coverage is often viewed as a temporary solution.

But when partnerships are built with intention, trust, and the right people, temporary support can become something much greater—long-term stability for healthcare organizations and the communities they serve.

At Floyd Lee Locums, we do not simply look to fill openings. We look for the right fit.
When one rural health system struggled to recruit clinicians willing to work in their community, we approached the challenge differently. We knew success would require more than clinical experience alone. We looked for clinicians who would embrace the lifestyle, build relationships, and truly become part of the community they were serving.
That approach changed everything.

Since then, we have placed more than 40 clinicians with the organization, and more than 10 have transitioned into permanent roles.

Those numbers represent more than successful placements. They represent clinicians choosing to stay. They chose to invest in patients, coworkers, and communities that began as temporary assignments and became meaningful parts of their lives.

For the healthcare system, it created continuity, stability, and stronger patient care. For the community, it meant familiar faces, trusted relationships, and greater access to consistent care close to home.

That is the kind of impact that matters most to us.

At Floyd Lee Locums, we believe staffing should never feel transactional. The best partnerships are built around people—because sometimes the best temporary solution becomes a permanent success story.

Not Every Staffing Solution Should Look the Same

In healthcare, some staffing challenges require far more than simply filling a schedule. They require partnership, trust, and clinicians who are willing to step in when a community needs them most.

That was the case with one of our newer hospital partners in Kentucky this spring. During an especially difficult spring break week, their team faced limited oncology coverage while permanent physicians were away with their families.

One of our veteran locum oncologists stepped in to ensure patients would continue receiving the care they depended on. As the only oncologist on-site that week, she not only managed her full schedule, but also worked an additional 17 hours of overtime, responding to unexpected surgeries, urgent consults, and emergent patient needs without hesitation.

Because of her dedication, patients continued receiving uninterrupted cancer care during a time when gaps in coverage could have had a significant impact on the community.

At Floyd Lee Locums, we believe healthcare staffing is about more than coverage. It is about showing up for hospitals, providers, and patients when it matters most. Behind every assignment is a team working together to protect continuity of care and support the communities our partners serve.
