After years of delivering fast, free digital locum tenens news, we’ve ignited a bold new era, reimagining how you experience industry updates with a game-changing transformation.
We’re shutting down our website.
No more email newsletters. No more skimming headlines between patients. No more chasing updates through a maze of browser tabs and buffering hospital Wi-Fi.
Why? Because you’re busy, and you don’t need more digital noise.
We’re going old school—not as a gimmick, but as a deliberate, thoughtful choice. In a time when everything is instant and disposable, we’re betting big on something slower, richer, and more meaningful. Something tangible you can hold, keep, revisit, and share.
We think it’s precisely what you’ve been waiting for, even if you didn’t know it yet.
Introducing the Locumpedia Encyclopedia. The 2025 premiere edition is a meticulously crafted, 2,000-page volume featuring embossed lettering printed on archival-grade paper. It’s unapologetically substantial because what’s inside deserves weight. Every page is packed with purpose, built to last, and made to be read, re-read, and passed on.
The Gold Standard of Locum Tenens Literature
Why settle for an algorithmically generated news feed when you can hold a monument to locum tenens in your very hands? Each volume is painstakingly compiled by a team of scholars, historians, and one supremely overworked intern.
- The State of Locum Tenens, 2025 Edition: A sweeping (but highly readable) overview of how the locum landscape has evolved, covering everything from early stand-ins for Medieval priests to today’s telehealth roles and cross-country assignments. It’s not history for history’s sake; it’s context that makes sense of where we’re headed next.
- Compensation Trends, Hand-Drawn Maps, and Surprisingly Elegant Graphs: No sterile dashboards or dropdowns here. Our in-house team illustrates salary shifts, regional patterns, and gig hotspots with the care of a 17th-century cartographer. Compasses optional. Accuracy, guaranteed.
- The 2025 Guide to Malpractice Insurance: An impressive 72 pages, including a four-page foldout titled “When Coverage Goes Horribly Wrong” and a tactile pop-up diagram of the legal system. Because navigating liability shouldn’t feel like a legal thriller.
- Candid Conversations With People Who Know the Drill: Firsthand insights from physicians, staffing execs, and the occasional recruiter who swears Hawaii jobs do exist. No scripts, no spin. Just stories from the frontlines of locum life.
- Smart Tax Moves for the Modern Locum: Updated for 2025, this section breaks down deductions, per diems, and multi-state filing with the help of a seasoned accountant whose notes remain priceless, even after his mysterious exit from the profession in 2018.
Each edition will be bound in full-grain leather—durable, handsome, and chosen with care. We like to think it captures the spirit of the locum life: well-traveled, reliable, and built to go the distance.
