Windham, NH- March 18, 2025- Medicus Healthcare Solutions is proud to announce that Michael Temple, a dedicated Medicus locum tenens CRNA, has been named as one of the top seven locum providers in the 2024 Locumpedia’s Locum Tenens Provider of the Year Award!

Specializing in obstetric anesthesia, Micheal exemplifies what it means to be a locum tenens provider. Currently, on assignment in Denver, Colorado, he has become an invaluable presence at the hospital, with his name frequently appearing on the facility’s thank-you board, where patients and families praise his kindness and compassion in patient care.

A grateful patient shared the depth of his care in a heartfelt note:

"It has been a month since you helped us with delivering our baby boy. From the moment we met you in the operating room, you treated us with such kindness and support. You made such a nerve-racking experience so calm and fulfilling. We are just so thankful things went the way they did, and that's mainly because of you and your team."

Micheal consistently embodies the adaptability and commitment that defines locum tenens work. Whether driving through snowstorms, stepping in at the very last minute to fill critical shifts, or enabling permanent staff to take much-needed time off, Micheal is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the hospital remains fully staffed and patients have access to the care they need.

Beyond the Operating Room

Michaels's contributions as a locum tenens CRNA extended beyond just filling shifts. He often supports the community he works with through charitable donations and hands-on volunteer efforts. Recently, he identified inefficiencies and concerns with the anesthesia OB stockroom that impacted the workflow for CRNAs and MDAs. While many may have accepted these challenges as part of the job, Michael took the initiative to propose improvements to the staff, who trusted him to lead this project. As a result of his hard work, the stockroom has been transformed into a more organized and efficient space, significantly enhancing the quality of the work environment for all providers.

Medicus is honored to celebrate Michael’s recognition as one of Locumpedia’s 2024 Locum Tenens Providers of the Year. Upon receiving the award, Michael shared:

“Just being nominated by my recruiter Haillie was humbling and an honor. To actually be selected as the Provider of the Year is a little overwhelming and exciting! It is truly a proud moment for me and my family; to be recognized for the hard work I’ve put in this past year with Medicus and the labor and delivery unit I am at. It is truly a cherished moment in my career, a significant highlight that will be difficult to surpass."

Stay tuned next month for an in-depth look at what influenced Michael’s decision to become a locum CRNA and the benefits that come with a locum tenens career.
