Locum tenens physicians work as independent contractors in the US. This gives you the benefit of complete control over your schedule and the locations in which you choose to work. It also presents you with the challenge of coordinating some things that are usually taken care of by an employer or group when you accept a full-time job. Don't let the details intimidate you. The physicians who have done it will tell you it is very much worth your while.
We have assembled a great package of resources, including access to benefits at group prices, for the physicians who work through us. We've also created a network of advisors you can trust. Check out MyVISTA for all of the details.
In addition, you can click here to download our whitepaper, Health Insurance Coverage for Independent Contractors, for more information.
For international assignments VISTA encourages you to purchase private health insurance in country. We have several resources to help you with this, and it is very affordable.
