- Abstract:
The article discusses the shortage of primary healthcare physicians and how locum tenens can solve the problem. The shortage is being attributed to the limiting supply of qualified medical school graduates, the rising costs of private practice and the limited incentives for rural areas relocation. The locum tenens industry can reportedly fill the gaps in staffing shortages and physicians should reportedly be given better pay incentives. Medical school graduates and near retiring physicians are encouraged to experience the diversity of healthcare settings
