This inaugural award, presented annually during PA Week (Oct. 6–12), recognizes one PA who has demonstrated exceptional commitment to their profession and patients.
Of the physicians, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), dentists, and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) surveyed, 9% said the COVID-19 pandemic was directly responsible for why they consider locum tenens assignments, while an additional 24% said the pandemic increased their willingness to consider locum work.
The recognition showcases Barton Associates’ position in the industry as a trusted partner for locum tenens staffing solutions as healthcare facilities across the country continue to struggle with a shortage of physicians.
“It’s very humbling—I don’t see myself as a hero,” Rizkalla said about being named Barton’s 2024 Locum Hero. “As a healthcare professional, I believe that giving back to others is my duty. I hope this award will help raise awareness for the charities I support and my fellow volunteers.”
Barton Associates rises 21 spots on SIA list to No. 96, showcasing rapid growth.
Nominations will be accepted from June 3 through June 28, 2024, and can be submitted on Barton Associates’ “Locum Heroes” nomination page.
