To help you find the right fit when choosing your next locum tenens assignment, consider these tips: 

Identify What Interests You the Most

What topics and issues are you most passionate about? And which patient populations are you most drawn to? Look for locum tenens assignments that fit those interests and populations while making room for continuous growth and learning.  

Evaluate Your Skills

This is an important part of any career assessment. Consider how your skills and abilities – especially your strengths – can be applied in the medical field. Where would these skills be most applicable? And, even more importantly, consider where you could best continue to develop those skills while acquiring new ones? 

Look into Current Trends and Future Demands

Do a little research and find out if there is a demand for the jobs you want now – and if there will be a demand for those same jobs in the future. Industry studies can give you an idea of which patient populations and specialties will need the most providers in the future.  

Know What You Want

Different specialties offer different work-life balances. Before making a decision, think about how this career choice will affect your personal commitments and future goals. One of the things most health care providers love the most is the fact that locum tenens roles allow them a lot of flexibility and autonomy which fits in well with other aspects of their lifestyle. 

Don’t Forget About Professional Growth

No matter what niche you choose, remember, locum tenens assignments offer a variety of opportunities to learn and grow. Some roles also offer the chance to take on leadership roles that will allow you to shape the health care communities around you.
