Any locum tenens docs here?
Just curious. We wre tossing around the idea of keeping our house but then also using the RV to drive to short term (like a week) positions, occasionally. Curious if others do the same?

Thanks. Medicine is changing rapidly and so we are feeling out solutions, including Locum Tenens positions. We may be a good fit for this lifestyle. Glad to hear experiences.
For people who don't know, DH is considering (considering.... Just beginning to think about it)... Getting out of private practice and leaving the hospital where he if affiliated and taking temporary "substitute doc" positions, Locum Tenens. It would be a large shift with positive and negatives, but e docs we know who have done this have loved it.
Also, could stay in private practice and take a weekend Locum position (covering someone else's vacation) a couple of times a year. This would supplement income and get his name and skills out in a broader region in case medicine collapses in on itself in the next several years.
