National Locum Tenens Week is upon us once again, this year running from August 12-16, 2024. This occasion is all about YOU and the incredible impact you have on healthcare. Your dedication to the locums workstyle is not just changing the way we think about healthcare staffing; it’s also making a real difference in the lives of patients and for clinicians nationwide.
Why We Celebrate You
You step in where you’re needed most, filling gaps in care and bringing your expertise to underserved areas. By embracing the locum tenens workstyle, you’re setting a new standard for work-life balance in the healthcare field, which is dominated by burnout, shortages, and even cyberattacks.
In a world where being jaded is all too common, you’re showing that it’s possible to practice medicine on the terms you set. Whether it’s spending more time with family, exploring new places, or simply enjoying a more flexible schedule, your commitment to a healthier life is inspiring. But we need more.
We need more hospitals, clinics, physicians, advanced practice providers, and administrators to learn about locum tenens and the solutions it can provide.
Join the LocuMotives Movement
That’s why we are excited to continue our LocuMotives initiative, where we spotlight the motivations and stories of locum tenens clinicians. Your experiences matter – they help shift the narrative around locum tenens work because you can tell it from personal experience.
People want to hear real, impactful stories from locum tenens clinicians. They want to hear what drives you—what inspired you to take this path, the challenges you’ve faced, and the rewarding moments that make it all worthwhile.
So, are you ready? Do you have a story to share? We’d love to feature it!
Win a Getaway to Charleston!

The giveaway includes travel, accommodations, and select activities.
Your story should describe how locum tenens has impacted your life and the influence it has had on the facilities or patients you’ve worked with. Submissions must be original and truthful. The giveaway ends August 30, 2024, at 11:59PM.
Delicious food, stunning views, and southern charm are waiting for you!
Let’s Keep the Conversation Going
This week is not just about celebrating your hard work, it’s also about raising awareness of locum tenens. Many people still don’t fully understand what locum tenens is all about, and your stories can help shine a light on the incredible opportunities it offers.
So, whether you’ve had a life-changing experience in a rural clinic, made lasting friendships with colleagues on the road, or simply found a better way to balance your personal and professional life, we want to hear it!
Thank You for Being You
As we celebrate National Locum Tenens Week, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU for all that you do. Your passion, dedication, and resilience are what make this community so special. We’re honored to be part of your journey and to support you in making a difference in healthcare.
Happy National Locum Tenens Week from all of us at Floyd Lee Locums!
