Windham, NH- August 12, 2024- Medicus Healthcare Solutions is proud to join the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO) in celebrating National Locum Tenens Week from August 12-16, 2024. This week is dedicated to honoring the essential contributions of locum tenens physicians and advanced practitioners who provide high-quality care to communities across the United States.
Today, over 90% of healthcare facilities utilize locum tenens, and more than 52,000 physicians work locum tenens jobs each year, caring for approximately 7.5 million Americans.
Bob Dickey, CEO of Medicus, shared, “Physician shortages are reshaping traditional healthcare staffing models, and locum tenens have become indispensable in maintaining the highest standards of care. At Medicus, we see our locums as vital partners in ensuring that high-quality care reaches every patient, every time. The entire Medicus team and I extend our deepest gratitude to all locum tenens for their unwavering dedication and crucial role in ensuring continuous access to care.”
At Medicus, we remain dedicated to bridging the critical gap between patient demand and the availability of healthcare providers. As the healthcare needs of the population continue to escalate and physician shortages persist, we remain committed to not only placing locum tenens and advanced practitioners in the facilities and areas that need them most but also ensuring each locum has the resources, support, and opportunities necessary to thrive. Our goal is to ensure that quality healthcare is always accessible to those in need and that our locum tenens providers are equipped to deliver exceptional care wherever they go.
National Locum Tenens Week is observed annually during the second full week of August. Led by NALTO®, this week serves as a platform to recognize the contributions of locum collectively tenens physicians and the critical role of staffing agencies in the U.S. healthcare industry.
