Each year, during the second full week of August, NALTO sponsors National Locum Tenens Week. This weeklong celebration acknowledges the contributions of locum tenens physicians and advanced practice providers and their vital role in the American healthcare system.
More than 52,000 physicians participate in locum tenens assignments annually. These doctors and advanced practice providers deliver essential healthcare services to approximately 7.5 million Americans. Their work fills critical coverage gaps and ensures continuity of healthcare delivery in diverse and often challenging environments.
Locum tenens providers fill in wherever they’re needed most, offering their expertise to underserved communities, rural areas, or even busy urban hospitals. National Locum Tenens Week is our chance to celebrate these outstanding providers and the staffing agencies that support them.
