Dr. Vikram Ravoory picked up his first locum tenens assignment as a bridge between jobs.
It turned into a way of practicing dentistry on his own terms, one assignment at a time.
Dr. Ravoory took his first locum tenens assignment to keep working and earning between permanent positions. It was meant to last three to four weeks.
Instead, it became the start of something longer. Each assignment put him in a different practice, with a different team, different technology, and a different patient population. Over time, that variety became its own kind of professional education.
You learn how to walk into an unfamiliar environment and figure out how to provide good care within that environment.
Every dentist's path looks different. These are possibilities locum tenens can open, not a guarantee of the same opportunities, compensation, or outcome for everyone.
