Who Should Attend
This ASAPro Webinar is for staffing professionals in the health care sector interested in learning about the trends, benefits, and costs of employing locum tenens.

Highlights
For years, hospitals, clinics, and other health care facilities have incorporated temporary nurses, therapists, and other clinicians in their staffing plans.

Today, this trend increasingly includes physicians, who are working on a temporary, or locum tenens, basis in increasing numbers. Why is the use of locum tenens increasing? What types of physicians are working as locum tenens and which medical specialties are in the greatest demand? What are the benefits of using locum tenens? What are the costs? And what return on investment can facilities using locum tenens expect? Last, but not least, how can locum tenens be used as a strategic part of an overall staff plan?

This Webinar provides answers to these questions and offers practical guidelines to health professionals interested in what is an increasingly important resource of medical manpower and expertise.

Register for this Webinar to

• Understand why locum tenens are being used in increasing numbers
• Learn the costs and benefits of locum tenens providers
• Develop strategies for integrating locum tenens into an overall staff plan
