How to Build a Hybrid Workforce with Locum Tenens Physicians

Meet the New Workforce Model

Gone are the days of staffing exclusively with full-time physicians. The 2025 model includes:

  • Locum tenens physicians for on-demand coverage
  • Telemedicine for virtual access
  • Part-time and semi-retired providers for targeted shifts

Build Flexibility Into Your Staffing Strategy

Use temporary physician staffing to cover:

  • Weekend and call shifts
  • Seasonal spikes
  • New program pilots
  • Staff leave and burnout recovery

Credentialing Must Keep Up

To make a hybrid model work, your locum tenens credentialing process should be fast and standardized. Partner with agencies that streamline onboarding and compliance.
