Locum Tenens Compared to Permanent Placement
Locum tenens placement offers the opportunity for physicians to make an increased salary that could be significantly higher than that of their peers. This increase is often the result of a high demand for the position filled. However, there are factors such as specialty, location, and years of experience that will affect compensation. Locum tenens providers also do not have the long-term opportunities that permanent placement workers do, such as the possibility to earn the role of partner in the future.
Competitive pay is just one aspect of the compensation we offer our providers. As a provider, Eskridge & Associates treats you with the utmost care and helps to relieve the burden of job placement and accommodation logistics.
