Locum Life
March 2010
Hospital medicine continues to top the list of locum tenens assignments, up 63 percent versus one year ago, according to a recent study by The Delta Companies published in The Physician Recruiting Standard.
“Approximately 60 percent of all U.S. hospitals and managed care organizations directly employ or use hospitalists through a locum tenens agency,” says Robert Goin, director of marketing for Delta Locum Tenens.
Hospital medicine has sustained its ranking as first in assignments since the second quarter of 2009.
Both the physician and facility benefit financially from a hospitalist program,” Goin says.
