2025 Physician Staffing Trends Every Healthcare Leader Should Know

Physician Staffing Is Evolving—Fast

In 2025, the way care is delivered—and who delivers it—looks dramatically different. Smart leaders are rethinking their approach to physician staffing solutions and embracing trends like:

🔄 Hybrid Staffing Models

  • Full-time clinicians + locum tenens staffing
  • Part-time and per diem providers
  • Telehealth locum physicians filling virtual needs

🖥️ Virtual Care Isn’t Optional Anymore

Telemedicine is now a core part of physician staffing. Locums trained in virtual delivery help extend access and lower cost.

📈 Flexibility = Physician Retention

Doctors want lifestyle-friendly options. Offering short-term physician coverage through locums shows your organization values clinician well-being.

✅ Value-based Alignment

As value-based care takes center stage, staffing must support preventative, accessible, high-touch models—and locum tenens physicians are part of that equation.
