The COVID-19 pandemic has led physicians and advanced practitioners to seek flexibility, work-life balance, and meaning, with many turning to locum tenens positions. Becker’s Healthcare discussed the benefits with Nikole Tillery, vice president of sales at Jackson and Coker.

"Burnout and depression among physicians and advanced practitioners are driven by four factors — feeling a lack of respect in the workplace, too many bureaucratic tasks, a lack of autonomy and too many work hours. Locums positions are a solution for many of these issues."

Locums work offers freedom, diverse opportunities, and addresses mental health issues in the sector. Professionals are encouraged to assess their goals before starting and choose the right agency, emphasizing Jackson and Coker’s focus on personalized experiences and provider well-being.
