(AKA travel jobs) are contract roles designed to fill gaps in care
at facilities and hospitals over a specific timeframe. These
assignments can range from a week to well over a year, and often
include opportunities for extension. Locum and travel medical
providers hold all the same qualifications as a permanent provider,
and often choose locum work for higher pay and increased
flexibility. LI-SC1 About Barton Associates The Locum Tenens
