Providers
We work with thousands of hospitals, medical practices and organizations across the United States that need talented providers for short- and long-term engagements.
Barton and Locum Tenens
Locum tenens is a form of healthcare staffing that offers healthcare providers career growth, flexibility, the ability to travel and new opportunities.
There is a critical shortage of healthcare providers in the United States — and this shortage is growing at an alarming rate. In many markets and areas of practice, the supply of doctors is not sufficient to meet patient needs.
As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to Barton Associates to solve their staffing challenges, ensure patient access and continuity of care, and generate revenue. With the ever-increasing demand for healthcare services and the flexibility and benefits of practicing medicine as a locum tenens provider, more and more physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists and CRNAs are making locum tenens their career of choice.
