A ŶatioŶal shortage of physicians combined with more insured Americans has increased the pressure on clinicians significantly, giving locum tenens clinicians unprecedented opportunities. But still, a 2015 study projected U.S. physician shortages of 65,500 by 2020—and 90,400 by 2025. What does that mean for locum tenens? Demand through the roof. In fact, according to industry analysts, revenue in the U.S. from locum tenens grew to $3.4 billion in 2016, up an impressive $2 billion since 2006. The greatest opportunity is for primary and hospital care, but demand for locum tenens NPs and PAs is growing, too!
