All Star’s Anthony Szydlowski Elected to NALTO Board of Directors
All Star Healthcare Solutions is happy to announce Chief Legal Officer Anthony Szydlowski was recently elected to the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations® (NALTO) Board of Directors.
“Anthony’s legal expertise and extensive knowledge of the healthcare staffing industry is a tremendous asset to All Star Healthcare Solutions, and now the locum tenens industry will benefit from his role with NALTO,” said Ken Bernstein, All Star’s CEO and President.
“It’s an honor to collaborate with industry leaders on the Board of Directors as well as NALTO members,” said Szydlowski. “Locum tenens companies continue to fulfill a key function as healthcare facilities deal with the ongoing physician shortage, including in underserved communities. It’s essential the industry presents a strong voice to ensure patients gain greater access to high-caliber providers.”
In addition to his role on the board, Szydlowski will continue to serve as a member of NALTO’s Legislative Committee, helping to guide its efforts in advocating for federal legislation to codify locum tenens providers as independent contractors. These clinicians provide a critical component of communities’ healthcare delivery systems, and empower contracting facilities to better meet patients’ needs.
As a board member, he will serve a three-year term, 2025–28.
In its announcement of new board members, NALTO President Jarin Dana also commended All Star Healthcare Solutions Partner and Board Member Matt Young for his seven years of service to the organization, including as former president and board member.
NALTO® is a professional association of temporary physician staffing firms committed to a code of ethics and maintaining the highest industry standards.
Add Highlights to Your Practice with Locum Tenens at Every Career Stage
Your curriculum vitae (CV) tells your professional story. It shows where you went to school and completed your residency or training along with a timeline of your career. Are you ready to add new chapters to your story with locum tenens? Check out the following ways the career alternative adds practice highlights to your CV at every career stage.
PRACTICE HIGHLIGHT: “I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings.”
Early-career providers: As a student or resident, your access to clinical environments depended on your educational institution and training program. Locum tenens right after residency or advanced practitioner training presents opportunities to try out different types and sizes of hospitals, clinics, private practice groups, and other healthcare organizations and systems. All Star Healthcare Solutions partners with all types and sizes of facilities across the country, therefore, offering providers starting off in their careers the chance to compare settings. Agreeing to temporary jobs at this professional phase not only increases your CV entries but also serves as a basis to determine where you best fit for long-term goals.
Mid-career providers: Did you follow the traditional route out of residency right into a full-time staff position at a hospital or with a private practice group? Now that you’ve accumulated years in that role or setting, do you feel like broadening your CV? If you’re interested in gaining first-hand knowledge about other clinical settings, such as trauma centers or rural critical access hospitals, locum tenens paves a pathway, and you don’t necessarily need to commit to a complete career change. Supplementing your current schedule with occasional locum tenens jobs allows you to work in other environments where you may be introduced to different types of technology or support staff services, for example.
Late-career providers: Physicians and advanced practitioners who anticipate transitioning toward retirement soon benefit from the chance to care for patients in various types of healthcare organizations via locum tenens. Even if you aren’t looking to enhance your CV at this stage, working in a variety of practices can reboot your professional curiosity.
PRACTICE HIGHLIGHT: “I’ve treated multiple patient populations.”
Early-career providers: Locum tenens opens the door for clinicians to encounter and observe various patient populations, building upon your experiences and adding diversity to your CV. For example, assignments may reveal various non-medical impacts on people’s health, such as socioeconomic or environmental conditions, regional cultural influences, or lifestyles choices.
Mid-career providers: After years of focusing on a specific community, perhaps you’ve developed interest in serving other populations, such as people living in medically underserved areas. Short-term opportunities enable you to contribute to these communities as well as determine whether your practice style fits in if you’re contemplating a job change in the future.
Late-career providers: Locum tenens supports schedule flexibility that makes allowances for various practice choices. Take time to volunteer for medical missions, for example. Or ask your consultant to present assignments in certain regions to serve specific patient populations.
PRACTICE HIGHLIGHT: “I’ve worked with numerous specialists.”
Early-career providers: Throughout your education and training, you’ve been introduced to mentors and seasoned colleagues. Locum tenens jobs take that experience to the next level. Not only do you work alongside a plethora of physicians and advanced practitioners as you accept assignments, but you also have instances in which you can pick up skills or learn different practice philosophies. Having access to evolving networks of fellow providers builds a well of references and potential mentors.
Mid-career providers: At any career stage, being able to consult with specialists produces opportunities to collect information and expand your knowledge. For instance, agreeing to locum tenens jobs at larger facilities could mean more access to high-acuity sub-specialists. Or you may work with individuals who can train you on state-of-the-art equipment. In fact, the co-workers you meet on contract have the potential to add something unique that you can choose to incorporate into your own practice.
Late-career providers: Like locum tenens providers in other career phases, physicians and advanced practitioners with decades of experience can always find value in collaborating with new peers. You also are in the position to extend your breadth of knowledge.
Locum tenens experiences may deliver different impacts at different career stages, but they always offer unique opportunities to positively impact patients, facilities, and communities.

A Locum Tenens Tax Brief: Terminology to Know
The annual tradition of filing a federal, and in some cases state, income tax return isn’t too far off. If you accepted locum tenens jobs any time in the previous year, take a moment now to review some of the common terms and conditions that explain how the career alternative may affect your filings. After all, locum tenens physicians and advanced practice providers are neither employed by a locum tenens agency, such as All Star Healthcare Solutions, nor the hospitals, clinics, private practices, and other healthcare organizations that contract with them to supplement their staffing needs.
NOTE: The following is merely a list of definitions. Consult with a professional specializing in tax return preparation and/or tax law for additional and more specific information.
Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers
This is a national database of tax professionals who have a Preparer Tax Identification Number and hold a professional credential or obtained an Annual Filing Season Program Record of Completion from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The directory is available to the public.
Form 1099-MISC
Form 1099-MISC is issued by any company that pays income for work performed as an independent contractor, according to the IRS. It confirms total income earned by the individual within a calendar year.
Form W-9
Locum tenens providers submit this IRS form to staffing agencies to confirm Taxpayer Identification or Social Security numbers.
Independent Contractor
Per the IRS, “People such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians … who are in an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the general public are generally independent contractors.” Another way to say it is locum tenens providers are self-employed while on assignment because they accept temporary positions and are not employees of the facility or the staffing company.
Per Diem Rules
From a tax point of view, personal daily expenses incurred while away from home practicing as a locum tenens provider may be classified as per diem. It’s important to note these costs are not reimbursed by staffing agencies.
Quarterly Estimated Taxes
Employers withhold federal, state, and other taxes, such as Social Security, from each paycheck. As a locum tenens provider, you are responsible for taxes on income earned from temporary assignments through quarterly estimated tax payments: April, June, September, and January the following year. Seek the advice of a tax expert to calculate amounts.
Schedule C
This IRS form lists net income (and/or loss) by tallying deductions, including any related to locum tenens jobs. Confer with your tax preparer for rules and regulations.
Self-Employment Tax
Basically, this term applies to the taxes independent contractors contribute to Medicare and Social Security.
State Income Tax
Not all states collect taxes on income. However, if you worked locum tenens assignments in a state that does tax earnings, then you must comply with its regulations. Discuss state specifics with your tax preparer.
EXPERT KNOWLEDGE
Whether this will be your first time filing as a locum tenens provider or you only occasionally accept temporary contracts, or locums supplies your primary source of income, being in the know about tax terms can be a cost-saving strategy. Consult with your tax specialist early on so you are armed with the most current and accurate information on tax regulations and laws.

All Star’s “Red Carpet” Service Means a Focus on Patient Care
We’re regularly reminded of the impact providers have on the individuals they treat. Their commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate care inspires our own absolute dedication to making quality locum tenens and direct-hire matches for providers and facilities. In fact, from start to finish in the staffing process, our commitment to deliver “Red Carpet” Service means All Star Healthcare Solutions puts patients first.
Multifaceted Matches
The first step to finding staffing solutions for your facility always starts with getting to know your needs. In addition to learning what’s driving the demand for staff — census spikes, vacation coverage, filling staffing voids, or anything else — our consultative approach develops a well-rounded understanding of your patient population. Our consultants will solicit details about clinical procedures common to the position or overall community health concerns, for example. Also, tell us about patient wait times and even community socioeconomic issues that may affect healthcare services. No detail is inconsequential.
What’s more, All Star consultants pay as much attention to getting to know providers — how they prefer to work and their motivations for pursuing locum tenens or new direct-hire jobs, for instance. This familiarity, along with understanding the variety of circumstances affecting needs at your facility, prepares our recruiters to match providers’ skills and backgrounds to your locum tenens and/or direct-hire requirements, including presenting individuals who will collaborate, coordinate, and communicate with existing staff teams, all of which benefits patient care.
Comprehensive Credentialing
All Star’s thorough credentialing process verifies each locums provider’s professional and educational background, including post-graduate training certifications, continuing medical education, and recent case logs. Plus, our Medical Staff Services specialists work closely with your representatives to complete all facility credentialing requirements, such as supplying documentation. Following these extensive vetting processes adds layers of assurance that your patients will be cared for by high-caliber physicians and advanced practice providers.
Quick Response
We understand patients may be impacted if urgent staffing needs aren’t fulfilled. All Star continually builds our network of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists so we have the agility to respond to calls for immediate locum tenens support. Our goal is to match providers not only to your clinical qualifications, but also your timeframe so patients receive the services they need when they need them.
We recognize that your hospital, clinic, or private practice group has long-term needs, too. Our Locums recruiters strategize with your representatives to plan ahead for holidays, vacations, or other factors that influence future temporary staffing needs. We also take it one step further: consultants in our Locums and Direct Hire Divisions confer with each other to address all your staffing concerns.
Specialty Services
A recent study by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology concluded more than 46 percent of the country’s counties do not have a permanent practicing cardiologist. What’s more, researchers found citizens in cardiology deserts drive an average 87 miles to and from appointments with the nearest cardiologist. Another report from the March of Dimes indicates one out of every three counties lack an obstetric clinician. But small towns aren’t the only locations looking for physicians and advanced practitioners in various specialties. All Star works with providers in all medical specialties to help facilities deliver the care patients need the most. Whether your circumstances demand additional staff to satisfy ongoing needs or occasional supplemental support with locum tenens assignments, we are ready to assist.
Wait Management
It’s difficult to concretely gauge how long people wait for the next available appointment with primary care providers or specialists on average—various surveys state wait times run between three weeks and more than two months. Of course, staffing gaps can complicate appointment calendars. Clinics, medical offices, and other healthcare organizations can whittle away some of the prolonged wait times with locum tenens providers. Enlisting temporary staff during periods of high demand can help your facility manage caseloads and more effectively satisfy patients’ needs.
Relationship Building
Our signature “Red Carpet” Service of always going above and beyond means cultivating strong, ongoing relationships with client facilities. Continually expanding our knowledge of your staffing needs and patient populations empowers us to understand your unique circumstances and how to best impact your facility, your staff, and of course, your patients.

Creative Ways to Preserve Memories from Locum Tenens Assignments
Locum tenens opens up a world of travel and discovery possibilities for healthcare providers, offering unique opportunities to dive into diverse practice settings, connect with new people, and explore different communities. Meaningful moments created during these adventures can become cherished chapters of your personal and professional stories that are worth memorializing. To inspire you, we’ve outlined a few creative and heartfelt ways to preserve the experiences that make each assignment special.
- Souvenirs and Local Goods
If you want tangible reminders of your locum tenens experiences and the communities where you’re assigned, souvenirs are a fantastic option. Wander through local shops to find T-shirts, keychains, mugs, and trinkets featuring iconic symbols of the area. Or, if you’re a sports memorabilia collector, pick up a token branded with a hometown sports team’s insignia. For an authentic piece of local culture, consider buying handcrafted goods. Not only do they have unique charms, but they also support small businesses, artisans, and craftsmen. Arts fairs are ideal spots to discover jewelry, pottery, artwork, and textiles that carry the spirit of the region. Such treasures can facilitate fun conversations long after a contract ends.
- Postcards
Looking for a memorable yet affordable way to capture snapshots of your locum tenens journey? Try collecting postcards from each contract location. Pick them up as you go or mail them to family at home—jotting down reflections on your work and leisure experiences. Post-assignment, store the cards in photo albums or use them in creative expressions of your locum tenens assignments.
- Photos
Photos capture vivid memories that can be shared with family and friends. Plus, photography can be a rewarding hobby to engage in on assignment. Display your favorite images in digital frames, use them in DIY projects, or curate special photo albums. You can even use apps to turn the pics into heartfelt gifts—like personalized mugs, plaques, or calendars—for friends and colleagues you’ve met on your locum tenens journey.
- Crafts
If you’re up for a fun and creative project that results in a one-of-a-kind keepsake, crafting is the way to go! For example, create a memory or shadow box. Fill a frame or container with mementos from your travels—photos, souvenirs, or notes from the facilities where you worked—and showcase it in your home or office. Scrapbooks are another fantastic way to highlight the stops along your locums journey, utilizing your favorite photos, postcards, and other items. And, if you’re handy with a needle and thread outside of stitches, try sewing a quilt from T-shirts you collected during assignments. For more crafty inspiration, dive into online resources like Pinterest to find endless creative ideas!
- Journals and Blogs
Writing about your adventures is a powerful way to capture the emotions and experiences you had on assignment. These reflections are both enjoyable to reread and may guide you when deciding which locum tenens destinations you’d like to revisit. These writings also can be publicly shared in a blog for your connections to follow. Bring your blog to life by adding photos from your journey, and if you need a creative boost, explore online prompts for writing inspiration.
- Recipe Collection
Taste can conjure up strong recollections, so a flavorful way to the keep memories of your locum tenens assignments alive is creating a personalized cookbook filled with regional recipes. Find famous plates using this guide on regional specialties, or better yet, ask colleagues and residents for recipes of their favorite dishes and relive the taste of locums with each bite.
- Videos and Travel Vlogs
If you want to capture immersive memories with full color, sound, and motion, recording videos is the perfect choice. These clips can become fun keepsakes to rewatch, or you can turn them into vlogs as a creative outlet and engaging way to share your experiences.
- Travel Tracking Maps
If you love old-fashioned maps, a scratch-off version offers a fun twist. In addition to being visually appealing, they also provide an interactive way to celebrate your locum tenens adventures by revealing a unique design inspired by the state’s landscape and culture.
- Messaging, Group Chats, and Social Media
Before each assignment ends, consider establishing a way to stay in touch with the friends and colleagues you’ve met along the way. Exchange contact details to set up a group chat or connect on social media if you’d like to keep the relationships going. Swap photos of your time together, update each other on life’s milestones, and even plan future meetups.

6 Signs It’s Time to Consider Locum Tenens (instead of a complete career change)
What would make you contemplate leaving your career? Burnout? Inordinate amount of administrative duties? Other professional or business opportunities? Research indicates circumstances such as these have pushed a percentage of doctors to at least consider a career change, including possibilities outside of medicine, or transitioning to retirement sooner than planned. If you find yourself weighing your options, there’s another choice to think about: locum tenens. The career alternative enables physicians and advanced practitioners to capitalize on your years of experience in a manner that foregoes many of the factors known to contribute to burnout and a possible exodus from the healthcare field.
How can you tell if you’re ready to follow a locum tenens path? Ask yourself these questions, then read on to see how locum tenens offers an avenue to refresh your professional mindset and find renewed career satisfaction.
Do you feel a need to experience a different setting?
Showing up at the same hospital, clinic, or private practice office day after day for most of your career offers pros and cons. On the plus side, you know what to expect. Then again, has the familiarity driven you to want a change of scenery? Locum tenens jobs do exactly that. Each new contract can assign you to a different facility in a different community and/or state, if that’s what you want.
If you’re not ready to leave your current employment, but still wish to indulge your curiosity about how other facilities operate, speak with an All Star Healthcare Solutions consultant about moonlighting with locums.
If you are considering relocating your practice, your family, and your home to a new city, locum tenens lets you test out sites before signing on any dotted line. Plus, our Direct Hire consultants can structure a job search to prioritize facility type, size, or location if you want to initiate that process while working short-term contracts.
Do you wish to increase your earnings?
According to a Forbes column, physicians spend decades repaying educational loans, even up to around age 50 in some cases. Additionally, the cost of running a private practice continues to climb, which has prompted some clinicians to reevaluate their job status. A locum tenens practice offers you another income source. If paying down student loans or other financial burdens would enable you to feel more engaged with your career, use periodic locum tenens jobs to supplement your earnings. Also, locums professionals are covered by All Star’s malpractice insurance policy while on assignment, which helps abate some costs associated with practicing.
Do you want to change the focus of your practice?
Year after year, physicians point to non-clinical duties as sources of burnout and dissatisfaction. If your role has veered too far into the administrative or managerial lane, locum tenens redirects your focus back to patient care. Facilities typically do not require locums providers, who are on site temporarily, to participate in management meetings, for instance. That freedom makes room in your shift to do what you value most in your profession: treat patients in need.
Do you want more control over your schedule?
Whether it’s flexibility week to week, fewer hours on call during the month, or more chances to take breaks from working, locum tenens accommodates a variety of schedule preferences. You have a say over when you accept assignments and for how long. If you want contracts without call duty, inform your All Star consultant. Prefer to work only a few days per week or only weekends? Tell your consultant. These details help us find locum tenens jobs that match your desired calendar configuration.
Do you want to be mentored or to mentor others?
Research shows mentoring produces positive outcomes on providers’ physical and psychological health. If you seek to acquire new skills, different approaches, or train on technology, locums offers on-the-job learning opportunities without having to take a formal sabbatical. Our blog, “5 Steps to Finding Mentors Through Locum Tenens Opportunities” outlines a strategy to tap into professional guidance from peers while on assignment. Locum tenens contracts also offer moments to extend your own reach by advising other providers you meet. Professional exchanges can inject a renewed sense of accomplishment and pride in your profession.
Do you want to explore?
As discussed here, locum tenens supports a variety ways to explore career and personal changes without leaving healthcare. Learn more about the career alternative by calling All Star Healthcare Solutions today at 800-928-0229 or contact us online.
Holidays, Vacations, and Other Monthly Staffing To-Dos
Don’t let the calendar fool you: It’s never too late (or early) to engage All Star Healthcare Solutions to fortify your staffing strategies. All Star is your full-service staffing partner in creating win-win solutions by maintaining continuity of care while enabling staff to enjoy time off. Here is a 12-month checklist to keep you on track with your holiday, vacation, and other staffing needs, beginning right now.
November: Shore up holiday vacation requests
While the holidays are right around the corner, some people may not have finalized details until now and are submitting last-minute requests for time off. That’s okay because All Star continually builds up our network of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse anesthetists to step in temporarily. What’s more, many locum tenens professionals volunteer to accept assignments during holiday seasons, like this month’s Thanksgiving. Also, now is a great time to reevaluate your short-term staffing demands for December holidays.
December: Prepare for seasonal spikes
In addition to individuals asking off for special occasions this month, it’s common for facilities to experience an increase in services due to seasonal illnesses. Boost your facility’s rosters with locum tenens professionals. Our consultants can help strategize so both your holiday and increased patient census needs are met.
January: Adopt a new staffing outlook
Turning the calendar to a new year may also bring announcements of pending retirements. According to a 2023 report by the Association of American Medical Colleges, nearly one-quarter of active physicians are age 65 or older. That means an uptick of retirements over the next year and beyond. Resolve now to find clinicians to fill those positions. As your full-service staffing agency, All Star is ready to assist with both your locums and direct-hire requirements.
February: Extend winter coverage
The cold and flu season may be sticking around, which leads to higher patient census and more clinic or urgent care visits. Manage the swing with supplemental staff. Whether you need additional clinicians for a few days or a few weeks, All Star can match your organization with high-caliber providers to help manage caseloads.
March: Spring into action
From professional conferences to school breaks, spring blooms with events that prompt requests for time off. If that scenario creates a staffing crunch for your facility, give All Star a call.
April: Address ongoing recruitment efforts
Expand your recruiting power by enlisting All Star’s expert Direct Hire consultants. They keep tabs on the recruiting environment as well as forge relationships with physicians and advanced practice providers. Plus, our signature “Red Carpet” Service means both our Locums and Direct Hire consultants work together, coordinating solutions to satisfy your unique staffing needs.
May: Get ready for summer
Don’t wait until temps climb to line up locum tenens providers to fill in for vacationing clinicians this summer. During popular periods for vacations, calls for supplemental staff increase, so secure your All Star contracts now.
June: Mid-year staffing assessment
Take the time now to review your current personnel status and look ahead to the next half of the year. Your All Star consultant is a valuable resource to help plot out a forecast.
July: Fill late-summer spots
Are you ready for the blitz of August vacation requests? Booking locum tenens providers for those dates now will reduce staffing stresses as summer winds down.
August: Focus on fall
It may still be beach weather outside, but before you know it, fall will be here. Work with our Direct Hire consultants to present quality candidates before the new school year takes charge of the family schedule. Nor do you have to wait to fill jobs temporarily. Our Locums recruiters will present providers to step into those open spots.
September: Formulate a future game plan
As noted earlier, utilization of locum tenens clinicians increases during certain times of the year, especially when the big holiday season rolls around again. Initiate conversations with your All Star consultant during September to at least get the process for end-of-the-year coverage started.
October: There’s no trick to effective staffing with All Star Healthcare Solutions
We’re primed to be your staffing partner all 12 months of the year.
Don’t wait another day. Call All Star Healthcare Solutions at 800-928-0229, or contact us online.
