Locum tenens physicians can earn more, see more, and experience more as a locum with Barton Associates
The number of physician locum tenens jobs grows every day as more companies, practices, and hospitals turn to locum tenens physicians to fill their vacant positions. To put it in plain terms, demand is high and supply is low.
The combination of an aging population, an increase in insured Americans, an aging physician workforce, and a limit on the number of residency spots, has led the AAMC to estimate that the United States could face a shortage of as many as 139,000 physicians by 2033. Locum tenens physicians help to solve this problem.

Why Should You Become a Locum Tenens Physician?
READ ABOUT WHAT MAKES BEING A LOCUM TENENS DOCTOR A GREAT CAREER PATH
Dr. Mason C. once worked 15 locum tenens assignments through Barton Associates in a span of four years. After having such an incredible amount of exposure to locum tenens, he was able to paint a clear picture of the differences between being a locum, and working as a permanent provider. When we spoke to Dr. Mason C. back in early 2020, he said “Your schedule is very much up to you, and you can see a wealth of different places, meet many different people, and see many ways that medicine can be practiced.”
He also added that locum tenens provides rich opportunity for medical professionals at various stages in their careers. “If you have your own practice somewhere, there are many ideas to bring back. If you are young and just out of training, locum tenens is a wonderful opportunity to see and learn different ways of approaching problems that give you a greater depth of knowledge and experience.” Read more of Dr. Mason C’s story.
Whether you are seeking a seamless transition into retirement, looking for a change of scenery, or anything in between, locum tenens may be the answer for you! Here are some more testimonials from real locums as to why making the switch to locum tenens is the way to go:
