As projections by the American Association of Medical Colleges estimate shortages of anywhere between 15,800 to 30,200 surgery professionals by the year 2034, the demand for medical providers specializing in surgery is expected to exceed 25% in the near future while the supply of surgical specialists falls short to surgery needs nationwide. Integrating locum tenens surgery professionals into your facility staffing plan is a proactive strategy to fill upcoming gaps in coverage at your healthcare institution.

Our experienced recruiting team connects hundreds of talented surgical physicians, anesthetists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants with a diverse range of healthcare facility types throughout the country every month.

Our client base grows bigger every day, and since 2001, Barton’s locum surgery specialists have been successfully placed on assignments at a wide variety of practice settings including:

When hiring a permanent surgery specialist, healthcare facilities are forced to pay for additional expenses on top of that provider’s salary, including but not limited to, benefits, signing bonuses, health insurance, and relocation fees. However, staffing with a locum tenens provider can save your healthcare organization up to $300,000 in expenses depending on your facility’s location!

The hiring process for full time surgical professionals also takes much longer than that of a locum provider, which means that as you search for a permanent candidate, your facility loses money due to gaps in patient care, low employee morale, interrupted workflow, as well as cost of lost referrals. With a locum tenens professional, your facility only needs to worry about salary, while we handle the rest!
