Have you considered locum tenens family medicine physician jobs?
Locum tenens gives you freedom to travel, to choose your schedule, and to rediscover why you fell in love with medicine. It can also bridge career transitions, provide financial stability, and open doors to new experiences.
Many family physicians use locums to explore different practice settings, extend their reach to rural and underserved communities, or enjoy extended time with loved ones between assignments. For others, it’s a way to stay active in medicine while transitioning into retirement.
