Locum Tenens Psychologist Staffing

Bringing on a locum tenens provider could save your facility $300,000 in expenses depending on your facility’s location! When you hire a permanent psychologist, you are forced to pay additional expenses on top of their salary. Some of these expenses include, but are not limited to:

• Benefits
• Signing bonuses
• Health insurance
• Relocation fees

Not to mention the hiring process for a full-time provider takes longer than that of a locum. This means while you are candidate searching, you are costing your facility money via gaps in patient care, interrupted work flow, low employee morale, and cost of lost referrals. When you bring on a locum tenens provider, all you need to worry about is the salary.

It’s incredibly important to have a quality psychologist seeing patients at your facility. According to Indeed, these are the most important skills and qualifications when searching for a psychologist to add to your team:

• A Ph.D. in Psychology
• Be licensed in the particular state to practice psychology
• Knowledge of various diagnostic assessments for the specific target population
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Works well with a variety of different people including colleagues, administrative staff, and patients
• Honors patient confidentiality
