Locum-to-Perm
Not only do Locum-to-Perm (Temp-to-Perm or Temporary-to-Permanent) benefit the provider, there are also excellent reasons for a healthcare organization to utilize them. Medical Doctor Associates specializes in locum tenens and temporary-to-permanent placement to better serve both our contract providers and healthcare clients.
A temp-to-perm position is essentially a working interview, which helps you to make a final decision based on your observation of the healthcare professional within your facility. This strategy can help save time and money by ensuring a solid match before extending a permanent offer.
Consider these reasons to work with a candidate before signing on the dotted line:
- Increased retention – the physician and his/her family members have an opportunity to experience your community before committing to relocation
- Provider fit – an opportunity to see if the provider integrates with your practice environment
- Patient care – there is no decline in patient care; your patients are being cared for while you can evaluate the working doctor
A locum-to-perm assignment provides an opportunity for both parties to make an informed, objective determination before moving forward with a permanent arrangement. MDA's experienced staffing consultants can help you determine if temporary-to-permanent opportunities are a viable option for your facility.
