Medstaff National Medical Staffing Celebrates National Locum Tenens Week 2024
RALEIGH-DURHAM, NC – August, 12: Medstaff National Medical Staffing is proud to join the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations® (NALTO®) in celebrating National Locum Tenens Week from August 12 to 16, 2024. This week honors temporary healthcare providers who play a crucial role in delivering medical care across the United States.
Locum tenens practitioners are essential to our healthcare system, providing services wherever needed most. Their dedication and flexibility ensure that patients receive high-quality care regardless of location.
Today, more than 52,000 physicians participate in locum tenens assignments each year, serving approximately 7.5 million Americans.
These healthcare professionals are instrumental in bridging gaps in care, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
We are committed to supporting these incredible providers, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to make a significant impact. We are proud to celebrate their contributions during National Locum Tenens Week.
This year also focuses on legislative efforts to address the nation’s physician shortage. The Healthcare Provider Shortage Minimization Act (H.R. 5208), currently under consideration in Congress, aims to expand Medicare-supported medical residency positions by 14,000 over the next seven years, enhancing healthcare access nationwide.
As we observe National Locum Tenens Week, we acknowledge the vital role of locum tenens providers in improving healthcare delivery, especially in underserved areas. We express our deepest gratitude for their unwavering commitment to patient care.
National Locum Tenens Week is observed annually during the second full week of August. Led by NALTO®, this week serves as a platform to recognize the contributions of locum tenens physicians and the critical role of staffing agencies in the U.S. healthcare industry.
