LOCUM TENENS HEALTHCARE SUCCESS STORIES
Dr. Kathryn G. — I love the personal touch this company puts on working with physicians. My recruiter is always looking for new opportunities for me and has a real sense of what I am looking for and how certain positions would fit into my schedule and my other work. I consider her a friend now that we have worked together for almost 2 years.
Dr. Richard M. — Barton is THE BEST! Everyone I have talked to has been very professional and wonderful to work with. I want to especially give a great shout out to Jackson Hogan and Nick Viveiros. Each man has been so exceptional in every way. They keep a close line of communication, advising me of everything that is going on and needs to yet be done in the very complex process of getting my husband, Dr Richard Martin, licensed to work in South Dakota, and Jackson was been superb in looking for work for him to do. We aren't finished yet, but we do plan on a long and successful association with Barton for years to come.
Susan S., Healthcare Professional — Prompt pay. Great customer service!

Why Should I Become a Locum Tenens Psychiatrist
READ ABOUT WHAT MAKES BEING A LOCUM TENENS PSYCHIATRIST A GREAT CAREER PATH
Locum tenens providers get a lot of exposure to different EHR programs and tons of other psychiatric care providers while traveling all over the country experiencing things they would not have otherwise!
One of the most popular perks of making the switch to locum tenens is flexibility. As a locum tenens provider, you are able to dictate your schedule to match up with your personal needs. For Dr. Gerald S., a locum tenens psychiatrist, this is exactly what he needed.
In early 2019, when psychiatrist Dr. Gerald S. first discovered locum tenens, he was looking to find local, permanent positions. Despite talking to different recruiters, he kept coming up short. After all, he didn’t want to travel too far, and he wasn’t looking to move. Eventually, he made the decision to open a private practice close to his family’s home in Michigan.
While a private practice would allow him to work close to home, he knew it would also would require substantial time and money, especially when first starting out. With that in mind, he started looking into locum tenens positions to supplement his income during this process.
“I was able to get a locum tenens assignment within about 20 minutes of my house,” he said. “The idea was that the contract was three months, and that gave me enough time to set up the practice like I wanted to, but didn’t lock me into anything long-term.”
