Locum Tenens Agency Resources

Bridging Staffing Gaps And Ensuring Continuity Of Care In A Pediatric Cardiovascular ICU

Written by Medicus Healthcare Solutions | Mar 12, 2026 1:00:00 PM

A Pediatric Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (PCVICU) in Indiana lost two full-time pediatric cardiovascular advanced practitioners during peak capacity, creating immediate coverage gaps in a high-acuity setting. With a 9 to 12-month recruitment timeline and limited specialist availability, leaders turned to the Medicus Transition Program to maintain continuity of care while leadership focused on rebuilding the internal team.

"My impression of locum tenens was that they work one day here and then you don't see them for three months. Medicus was actually able to provide consistent coverage with a core group of providers for 6 months at a time, and they were high-quality candidates. I never thought Medicus could actually do it; I was very doubtful, and I was wrong. Medicus found the best people I could ever imagine for our hospital." - Clinical Director
