The Advantages of Locum Tenens with All Star Healthcare Solutions
Why accept locum tenens as a career choice? Why fit the occasional locum tenens moonlighting job into your current schedule? The answer to both questions is that the locum tenens option offers specific advantages that are unique to the career alternative, especially when choosing All Star Healthcare Solutions as your partner.
All Star Delivers “Red Carpet” Service
From the moment you contact All Star Healthcare Solutions, you become a beneficiary of our signature “Red Carpet” Service, in which going above and beyond the expected is our standard. First, our Online Services team will assist you with our streamlined application process via the convenient All Star Provider Portal. Then, recruiters assist you through the credentialing process, coordinating efforts with our Medical Staff Services specialists as well as begin the search for locum tenens positions that match your clinical skills, professional background, and location and facility preferences. Meanwhile, you are free to focus on what you do best, caring for patients. You don’t have to carve out time from clinical duties to do all the legwork yourself.
All Star Stays With You Throughout the Locum Tenens Journey
Our “Red Carpet” Service continues on into each assignment. Not only will All Star arrange housing and travel details, but your recruiter periodically will reach out to see how you are settling in or if you have any questions about how the assignment is developing. Of course, we’re always available to address needs that may pop up during a contract. But that’s not all. We also want to hear about new experiences you have on and off duty. We enjoy hearing stories about your colleagues or memorable moments on assignment. In fact, we want to hear about all aspects of your locum tenens experience, including your parting thoughts on how the contract was executed or can be enhanced. That feedback helps us enhance our “Red Carpet” Service.
All Star Offers Full-Service Capabilities
One of the advantages of locum tenens is that providers practice in various settings and locations without long-term employment commitments. This perspective is particularly beneficial when you want to explore practice environments for possible future employment. The advantage of partnering with All Star is that consultants in our Locums and Direct Hire divisions collaborate with each other to serve providers on both fronts. Our people work together to find temporary positions while also presenting possible permanent jobs that meet your objectives. Once again, this team effort frees you up to focus on clinical duties, and also streamlines communication.
All Star Works Within Your Timeframe
Staff members who want a vacation or an extended break from work most likely have to coordinate requests with those of their colleagues, especially during certain seasons, such as summer and popular holidays. Locum tenens offers physicians and advanced practice providers more scheduling freedom. Discuss with your consultant which dates you are available to accept short- or long-term assignments. Who knows, perhaps you are willing to work locums during the main holidays, knowing it’s giving another provider quality time with friends and family. Additionally, we can accommodate a more occasional frequency if you’re interested in using temporary positions to supplement your income. Maintaining communication with your consultant is key to having a locums practice adapt to your scheduling needs and not the other way around.
All Star Can Help Make Room for Personal Endeavors
For many providers, practicing medicine is only one aspect of your professional identity. You also are entrepreneurs, innovators, educators, creators, or any number of roles outside of your clinical duties. The locum tenens career alternative helps to make room for other projects. As noted above, the schedule flexibility allows for breaks between contracts if you want to redirect attention to a business venture. Also, being immersed in a variety of communities may inspire new topics to cover in your podcast or video channel. Additionally, you may discover more liberty with your days off during a locum tenens contract, which can be dedicated toward other goals. Inform your All Star consultant of your plans so they can match them with locum tenens possibilities.
