How it Works

Starting your locums journey with Specialty Locums is simple, transparent, and tailored to your needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide to how it works:

Initial Contact

Reach out to us via email, phone, or text with your questions. We’re happy to set up a time to chat or communicate electronically to ensure your preferences and needs are understood from the start.

Credentialing

Once credentialed with Specialty Locums, you gain access to a wide range of positions across the country. Our network includes roles for physicians, PAs, and NPs, with a focus on surgery-related fields and more, thanks to our membership in NALTO and VMS networks.

Licensing, Dates, and Travel

While licensing and credentialing are completed, we work with you to finalize your work dates and secure approval from the site. We also handle travel and accommodation arrangements to ensure everything is ready for your assignment.

Finding the Right Position

We’ll work with you to identify opportunities tailored to your specialty and interests. Once you find a position that works for you, we’ll provide a Provider Service Agreement and application to get the process moving.

Presentation and Interviews

After selecting a position, we present your credentials to the site. If approved, a phone interview is arranged. Once everyone agrees it’s a good fit, we proceed with licensing (if needed) and site credentialing.

Orientation and Payment

On arrival, you’ll complete site orientation and begin your shifts. Submit your timesheets promptly and get paid immediately via direct deposit. At year-end, we issue a 1099 for tax purposes. Ready for more? We’ll help you find your next rewarding assignment!
