Question 1

What physician specialties do you place for locums coverage?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in post-acute and senior care specialties — geriatrics, internal medicine, family medicine, and psychiatry. We also place APPs including nurse practitioners and physician assistants with senior care experience.

Question 2

Where do your locums physicians come from?

Accepted Answer

All locums candidates are sourced through PhysicianWork — our owned physician job board focused on post-acute and senior care settings. Candidates are opted-in and actively seeking locums opportunities, not passively recruited.

Question 3

How quickly can you place a locums physician?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on credentialing and licensing requirements. For candidates with active multi-state licenses and completed credentials, we can often confirm a placement within 1–5 business days. We'll be direct about timelines during your first consultation.

Question 4

Do you handle multi-state licensing and credentialing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We manage state licensing, credentialing coordination, and privileges paperwork. Multi-state footprints are a core capability — not a complication. We handle the administrative burden so your team doesn't have to.

Question 5

Can you cover short-term gaps as well as extended engagements?

Accepted Answer

Both. We place physicians for single-week emergency coverage gaps and multi-month extended engagements. The same white-glove process applies regardless of engagement length.

Question 6

What post-acute settings do your locums physicians work in?

Accepted Answer

Our physicians are experienced in SNFs, assisted living, memory care, home-based primary care, and community health settings. Setting familiarity is a key filter in our matching process.

Question 7

How do you handle malpractice coverage for locums physicians?

Accepted Answer

We work through the locums arrangement structure to coordinate malpractice coverage appropriate for each engagement. Your compliance and legal team will review specifics during the placement confirmation process.

Question 8

What if our facility has urgent physician coverage needs?

Accepted Answer

Submit the Request Staff form and flag your request as urgent. We prioritize same-day responses for emergency physician gaps. For post-acute settings, we maintain a warm pipeline of physicians specifically available for urgent placements.
