As a CRNA, nurse practitioner, physician, physician assistant or other advanced practice provider, there are several advantages to choosing a locum tenens role compared to a staff position. Here are some key benefits for locum tenens providers:
Locum tenens positions provide a high level of flexibility in terms of when and where you work. As a locum provider, you have the freedom and independence to choose your schedule and the facilities where you work. This can be beneficial for individuals who desire a better work-life balance, or wish to explore various healthcare settings, or have more time for family, social engagements, travel and self-care.
Compared to the single environment of a staff position, working as a locum tenens provider allows you to gain exposure to different healthcare facilities and teams, patient populations, and clinical practices, which can keep you engaged and promote continuous learning. This broadens your clinical experience and enhances your patient care skills, making you a more versatile and adaptable healthcare professional.
As a locum tenens professional, you can earn higher rates of pay compared to your full-time counterparts. Aequor Locums has tremendous negotiating power with healthcare facilities, and we advocate for your interests. Additionally, you’ll receive compensation for travel expenses and housing, which can further enhance your income.
Staff positions typically come with administrative responsibilities and paperwork related to running a clinic or department, not to mention the internal politics. In contrast, locum tenens providers aren’t burdened with these tedious administrative tasks or workplace drama, allowing you to focus on patient care.
If you’re uncertain about your long-term career goals or the type of healthcare facility you’d prefer to work in, locum tenens offers an excellent opportunity to test different practice settings before committing to a permanent position.
Locum tenens positions allow you to build a broad professional network across different healthcare facilities, which can be valuable for future career opportunities or collaborations. Plus, getting to know your colleagues and other providers across multiple settings provides you with a support system if you’re away from your home base temporarily.

Locum tenens is a Latin phrase that means “one who holds the place (of another).” Locum tenens refers to physicians or advanced practice providers (APPs) who temporarily fill in for other medical staff at healthcare facilities. Locums assignments can range from a few days to several months, allowing healthcare facilities to maintain continuity of care.
Locum tenens practitioners enjoy flexibility in their schedules and the opportunity to work in various settings without the long-term commitment of a permanent position. In addition to these advantages, locum tenens providers often receive greater compensation packages, which may include higher hourly rates, weekly stipends, and travel reimbursements.
Our personal-touch recruiting team is dedicated to understanding your interests and finding the right fit for you. We truly value the relationship piece of locum tenens and work closely together every step of the way.
Our in-house credentialing and licensing experts facilitate every step of the process for you to be fully credentialed and privileged with your facility, including new licenses if needed.
We take care of it all. Based on length of assignment and location, our team coordinates everything—airfare, rental car, reservations, hotel, extended stay, vacation rentals, and other necessary accommodations.
As a 1099 independent contractor, you would not be eligible for employment benefits. Along with your weekly direct deposit and medical liability insurance, Aequor is also responsible for your travel and lodging expenses.
Becoming a Locum Tenens physician for the first time, Aequor’s Locum Connections helped me work for the Native American/Alaska Native community which has been a longtime wish fulfilled thanks to their assistance.
I feel Aequor’s Locum Connections is the best place for me and I imagine that it would for most physicians who are willing to work hard and wish to develop long lasting relationships.
I have had a working relationship with Aequor’s Locum Connections for over 7 years. This is a business conducted ethically that cultivates lasting relationships and creates a conducive environment for excellent patient care.
