Positions 10,773 Updated daily

Locum tenens work is booming as hospitals and urgent‑care centers fill staffing gaps caused by physician shortages, the aging population, and post‑pandemic patient surges. 80% of acute care facilities now use locum physicians to keep services running, creating a high‑demand market where flexible hours meet urgent needs.

Locum roles span specialties: Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Critical Care, Oncology, and Telehealth. Typical responsibilities include charting in EHRs (Epic, Cerner), conducting physical exams, managing acute cases, and coordinating discharge plans. Tele‑locum positions use platforms like Teladoc and Amwell to deliver remote consultations, while on‑site locums often work 12‑hour shifts to stabilize patient flow.

Salary transparency is critical for locum professionals because rates vary by specialty, region, and shift length. With clear pay data you can compare offers, negotiate fair compensation, and avoid under‑payment for overnight or weekend coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are typical salary ranges for Locum positions by seniority?
Locum MDs earn between $220,000 and $350,000 annually in high‑cost states, with senior specialists (e.g., Cardiologists, Neurologists) reaching $400,000+. Locum RNs range from $55,000 to $90,000 yearly, while allied health locums (PT, OT) earn $45,000–$70,000. Rates also vary by shift: 12‑hour on‑site shifts can pay 25%–35% more than standard 8‑hour shifts.
What skills and certifications are required for Locum roles?
Board certification in the relevant specialty, state medical license, and an active NPI number are mandatory for physicians. Nurses must hold current RN or LPN licensure plus BLS/ACLS certification. Telehealth locums need proficiency in EHRs (Epic, Cerner) and familiarity with secure video platforms (Zoom Health, Doxy.me). Additional credentials such as Scripps or Mayo Clinic locum certifications can boost credibility.
Is remote work available for Locum positions?
Yes—many hospitals and telehealth companies hire remote locums. Tele‑locum roles use platforms like Amwell, Teladoc, MDLive, and Doctor On Call. Remote on‑site locums may be required to cover overnight shifts via secure VPNs to access patient records and participate in virtual rounds.
How can a Locum career progress to full‑time or specialty practice?
Locum work often serves as a pipeline: Physicians can use locum assignments to build experience, expand networks, and secure referrals. Many locums transition to full‑time hospitalist or outpatient roles after 12–18 months. Others leverage locum experience to start private practice, obtain consulting contracts, or pursue higher‑paying specialty fellowships.
What industry trends are shaping the Locum market?
Telehealth adoption is accelerating, with 65% of hospitals now offering virtual urgent‑care services. Burnout and the 2025 projected shortage of 150,000 physicians in the U.S. are driving hospitals to rely more on locums. Additionally, value‑based care models reward hospitals that maintain consistent staffing, further expanding locum opportunities across specialties.
