Travel Physician Assistant FAQs

WHAT MAKES BEING A LOCUM TENENS PA A GREAT CAREER PATH

What is a Travel Physician Assistant?

A locum tenens (or travel) physician assistant Practitioner (PA) shares similar job requirements and duties to a fulltime or permanent PA. Travel PAs, known as locum tenens PAs, typically work short-term jobs, filling temporary and often urgent staffing needs at medical facilities around the country. 

Where can locum tenens PA work?

Locum tenens PA can work in any state where they are licensed. In order to serve more communities and expand their job opportunities, locum PAs will usually hold multiple licenses. Barton Associates will help locum PAs with licensing including filling out paperwork and paying for licenses in certain situations.

Can a Permanent PA become a Travel PA?

Yes! Many of Barton’s locums work a few weeks or days at a time while continuing to hold a permanent job or during retirement. Barton Associates covers travel, housing, and handles licensing/credentialing to make the transition from perm work to locums as seamless as possible.

What facilities does Barton Associates work with?

Barton Associates’ account executives work with facilities in all 50 U.S. states and all U.S. territories. These facilities are located in cities, small towns, in the mountains, and in remote desert locations. Working with Barton means access to jobs at hospitals, urgent cares, private practices, schools, IHS facilities, critical access hospitals, and even emergency response and government jobs.

Do Travel PAs make more money than Permanent PAs?

The answer is, “it depends”.  Hourly or daily rates for a locum PA tends to be higher than a salaried PA due to the ability to the PA’s ability to negotiate rates through their recruiter. For that reason alone, working as a travel PAs tends to be more lucrative than working as a perm PA.
