Know Your Latin!

Objectives:

• Make residents aware that permanent practice is only one of many post-residency options
• Give residents the financial numbers and statistics that demonstrate locum tenens physicians' constantly increasing importance within the medical community
• Show that many doctors believe that locum tenens is the most satisfying practice option

Know Your Latin! is an educational presentation designed to increase residents' awareness of their practice options within the medical community. While most residents choose a permanent practice upon completion of residency, it is by no means the only choice. Survey data shows that more and more residents are working as locum tenens straight out of residency. Medical Doctor Associates recognizes this trend and designed this presentation accordingly.

Through the Know Your Latin! presentation, Aaron Paul seeks to give residents all the facts about locum tenens. Attending this presentation will give each resident a better understanding of locum tenens and the ways it differs from permanent practice. It will also help the residents determine whether locum tenens is an option that fits their personal and career goals, and will provide the information necessary to differentiate between locum tenens agencies.
