Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Anesthesiologists/CRNA:

What is the definition of "locum tenens"?

The word originates from the Latin phrase locum tenéns, or holding the place. The use of the word in the medical field does not deviate much from its origin. Essentially, a locum tenens physician is a temporary placeholder for an absent, permanent physician.

What are the requirements to work with ActionMed?

Currently, ActionMed only works with anesthesiologists and CRNAs. If you are an anesthesiology MD or a CRNA in search of employment, please contact us! Even if you are not sure you meet certain requirements, please contact us (link to contact us), and we will guide you through the process.

Why would I want to become a locum tenens Anesthesiologist/CRNA?

As a locum tenens physician or CRNA, you have tremendous flexibility in your choice of where to work. For new physicians, the job becomes an exploratory opportunity to experience different work environments before deciding on a permanent position. Often, new physicians who immediately invest huge amounts of capital into their permanent positions later regret the move. Thus, becoming a locum tenens physician can help you ensure a successful investment in your career in the future. For other physicians, locum tenens is a break from the repetitiveness of their old jobs, offering a way to travel and practice simultaneously.

Why would a medical facility need locum tenens?

Medical facilities often need substitute physicians to temporarily replace permanent physicians for many reasons (vacation, sickness, etc.). Seasonal events also affect facilities' need for extra physicians. For example, Hawaii's peak tourism season in the summer may lead to demands for numerous summer physicians in the state's hospitals. ActionMed hosts clients from across the nation; thus, there is always a demand for you.
