SUMO Medical Staffing is proud to specialize in both locum tenens placements and permanent positions across the United States.

Locum tenens and permanent positions

SUMO Medical Staffing matches the most qualified physicians and advanced practice providers (APP) with facilities in need of specialties such as psychiatry, anesthesiology, critical care, pediatrics, internal medicine, hospitalist, family medicine, ER/urgent care, and many more. Our permanent and locum tenens providers play a critical role in healthcare today – and will play an even bigger role in the future.

We can help you identify job opportunities and can assist with contracts, credentialing, licensing, payment, and even housing/transportation. If the idea of choosing an agency is intimidating, you can first check to make sure the agency is a member of The National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO). SUMO Medical Staffing has been a member since 2015.

How we help physicians and APPs find their ideal roles

Our goal is to match the right candidate with the right position based on the client’s needs and the candidate’s skills, goals, strengths, and interests. Simply put, SUMO Medical Staffing wants to create a perfect fit between our clients and locum tenens providers. For that reason, we use a criteria-based matching system to ensure compatibility while promoting long-term relationships.

The best locum tenens agencies are those who get to know you personally and understand facility needs. Once they do both of those things, can successfully connect providers and facilities to make sure patients receive the best care possible – and providers experience the best healthcare has to offer.

What is Locum Tenens?

Locum tenens is a critical way that hospitals, outpatient clinics and other healthcare facilities fill temporary staffing gaps. By working with a locum tenens agency or recruiting firms, a physician or CRNA can be matched to locum tenens jobs that meet their needs.
