A new LocumTenens.com case study explores how physicians can combine clinical practice with consulting, research and other non-clinical opportunities to broaden their careers while maintaining patient care responsibilities.
The case study, “Why not both? A physician’s case for pairing locum tenens work with non-clinical consulting,” features gynecologic oncologist Dr. Randall Gibb, who balances locum tenens assignments through LocumTenens.com with consulting and research projects through Inlightened, a healthcare consulting and research platform.
“Medicine allows for a variety of avenues to participate in activities outside the traditional hospital and/or clinic setting,” Dr. Gibb said. “Not only do I enjoy learning from others, but I also enjoy sharing my thoughts and perspectives with others. I find this very intellectually stimulating.”
His experience illustrates how locums work can provide flexibility for physicians seeking to diversify their careers, apply their expertise in new ways and explore interests outside the clinic without stepping away from patient care.
Read the case study to learn how clinical and non-clinical work can complement one another and create new opportunities for professional development.
