If you’ve heard that practicing locum tenens is synonymous with being a traveling doctor, don’t let that scare you off.<br />
The chance to travel is seen by some as an advantage of the locums lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean it’s a requirement!<br />
With the current demand for physicians across the country, you can find locum tenens job opportunities just about<br />
anywhere—including close to home. So whether you want to stay near family, have pets to take care of, or just enjoy<br />
where you live and want to stay put, locum tenens is still an option.<br />
3 Reasons to Pursue Local <strong>Locum</strong> <strong>Tenens</strong><br />
Besides the ability to stay close to loved ones and avoid the hassle of travel, there are a handful of other reasons to<br />
consider local locum tenens.<br />
1. Take Advantage of Eleventh-Hour Shortages<br />
Since you don’t have to travel, you may find that locum tenens puts you in a position to be able to help local facilities<br />
that need to fill spots quickly. When someone is sick or has an emergency, locum tenens clinicians can scoop up lastminute<br />
shifts. You win an unplanned opportunity to earn money, and the facilities will be grateful for your help.<br />

2. Make Extra Income<br />
<strong>Locum</strong> tenens doesn’t mean travel and it also doesn’t have to mean full-time work. You can pick up assignments locally<br />
to supplement your week, when you could use a little extra income or whenever it fits your schedule. One option is to<br />
use locum tenens to make your vacation pay double, taking on an assignment during paid vacation from a full-time job.<br />
3. Test-Drive Different Settings and Facilities<br />
<strong>Locum</strong> tenens can allow you to explore local career options and get exposure to different patient populations and<br />
practice settings. Perhaps you want to see what it would be like to work for the hospital in the town over. By taking on a<br />
locum tenens assignment, you have the chance to find out what you like and switch things up without committing to a<br />
big change.<br />
Find What You Want, Where You Want It<br />
A career in locum tenens can open doors wherever you want to be—and that includes right where you are. One benefit<br />
of working through an experienced staffing agency like VISTA is having a resource to talk to about what you’re looking<br />
