Myth #1: “Locums Aren’t as Qualified”
False. Locum tenens physicians are credentialed, often board-certified, and used to adapting quickly in high-demand environments.
Myth #2: “They’re Too Expensive”
Not when you compare them to:
- Lost revenue from canceled procedures
- Burnout-driven turnover
- Delayed hiring costs
Myth #3: “They Don’t Provide Continuity”
With strong onboarding, locums integrate seamlessly. EMR access + team alignment = consistent patient care.
Myth #4: “They’re Not Invested”
Locums often choose this path to serve with purpose—especially in underserved areas.
Myth #5: “They’re Just a Backup”
Modern systems use locums as a strategic asset—not just a last-minute fill-in.
