Locum Tenens: To See the World in a Grain of Sand

The neat thing about working as a locum tenens is that it offers the ability to travel and explore new places!  When you were young, the world was an endless stream of opportunity.  You wanted to travel & explore, so maybe you did & maybe you didn’t.  But either way, after backpacking Europe or visiting temples in the south pacific, you returned home to start your career.  Of course that natural spark for adventure has never really left you.  Working as a locum tenens provides a viable and respected means to travel and explore new regions before settling down to permanent practice.  Maybe exploring parts of the country will afford you the opportunity to decide where in the world you finally rest and set up shop in a permanent practice.  Working a locum  allows you to move to a big city or a quiet country side, or a small town on one of the Great Lakes; the options are infinite. 

Working as a locum may give your resume a competitive edge when looking for the perfect associateship.  In traveling and living in many towns and cities, you come across a wide spectrum of patients from all walks of life.  It proves that you are adaptable to change, interested in the world around you, and are eager to learn & grow as a person.  The opportunities that present themselves while working as a locum are endless.  Don’t rest now; the best is yet to be!

Welcome, to the new LOCUMS4YOU Blog spot

        
          Welcome, to the new LOCUMS4YOU Blog spot.  This blog will be geared towards clients and locums and available to everyone in the health care field.  We hope this blog will answer most of your questions and will prove to be beneficial to all.  But where does one begin writing a blog for such a niche market?  How about the basics?  A quick discussion of malpractice insurance seems like as good a place as any.  

            One of the most popular questions of new locums is, “do I need my own malpractice insurance?”  If you want to work in Canada, the simple answer is yes, you do!  In other parts of the world, it would be very advisable to check with local licensing boards.  How do I get malpractice insurance?  Malpractice insurance is very easy to get.  Many different ccompanies offer malpractice insurance and you can usually get a free quote from their website.  You would need to get basic information like websites, etc. from searching the Internet.  All of these companies have toll free numbers and can be reached through their perspective websites.  When meeting a malpractice insurance provider, remember to have your credentials with you!
