My FlexMedStaff mentor generously spent countless hours over a period of days coaching both me and my wife through the process of finding a position. If it wasn’t for them we would not have had the confidence to look more aggressively. They gave away so much priceless knowledge both through FMS articles & resources on the site. In addition they make themselves very available to answer questions & provide encouragement without sugar coating facts. FlexMedStaff has been a LOT more helpful than any recruiter or resource we have used. My subspecialty is very specific and the opportunities were few. When the agencies ghosted us, my mentor was there every step of the way. They helped us course correct when we felt like giving up. Words cannot even begin to express our gratitude for their service. It turned our distress into eustress. A huge weight has been lifted and we are so thankful that we crossed paths with FlexMedStaff to guide and mentor us.

My FlexMedStaff mentor played a pivotal role in my journey to become a Locums physician, offering invaluable support and guidance throughout the process. Her extensive knowledge of navigating both agency and direct contracts served as a constant source of encouragement, providing me with crucial insights into the intricacies of locum tenens work. The mentorship went beyond clinical ability, encompassing effective communication skills, adaptability, and strategies for seamlessly integrating into different healthcare environments. Her practical advice on navigating the complexities of locums assignments, coupled with a genuine commitment to my professional growth, significantly enhanced my confidence and capabilities. My mentors encouragement and hands-on assistance were instrumental in shaping my successful transition to a Locums physician, and I am grateful for the mentorship that has been pivotal in my career development.

Had an enlightening conversation with FlexMedStaff. They seem to look out for the physician by bridging the pay gap between large national locum agencies and us as clinicians. They have been responsive to my questions, and I hope to continue working closely with them in my efforts to practice medicine the way I want.

It is clear that FlexMedStaff is on a mission to help physicians appreciate and capitalize on their value. So many physicians are being dragged by the healthcare system, and it’s easy to forget that we can still fight for ourselves. My mentor made himself available and willing to partner with me to help me reclaim my value as a physician. I am new to locums, and I was very concerned about navigating this new world. I was concerned about putting myself at the mercy of recruiters and potentially getting some bad deals. My mentor partnered with me to help give me the confidence and the techniques to advocate for the best deals. They even encouraged me to go after direct contracts with hospital systems. This is the best way to cut out the middleman and maximize my value! As physicians, we have to fight back. There is a way to work on our terms and re-claim the respect and value we worked so hard to earn. I’m so appreciative to have a passionate and skilled physician in my corner.

Urologist
Navigating the locum world can be extremely daunting and often physicians are at a huge disadvantage in the system.  FlexMedStaff mentors have been a great resource in educating me and other physicians on the many aspects of locum work, including advice regarding contract negotiations, malpractice and health insurance issues, and even insight on day-to-day life as a locum doc. It is so refreshing to find physicians who are motivated by a genuine desire to support fellow physicians.

I am new to locums and wasn't aware of being able to directly negotiate with hospitals. FlexmedStaff was a great support during my negotiation with the hospital and gave me lots of useful tips. Knowledge is power and FlexMedStaff is there to help physicians feel empowered in the process.

It seems like common sense to cut out the middleman when it comes to any business.  Unfortunately, doctors aren’t always their best advocates when it comes to their businesses.  Locums companies take advantage of that and make a killing.   I was in a situation where I serendipitously was offered the same job from both a locums company and the hospital directly.  The Locums company offered me 60% of what the hospital gave me directly.  That’s when I truly realized how much we were leaving on the table with every deal with a locums company.  But realizing that you’re the one with the talent, the life-saving skill, and honestly, the priceless commodity is power.  Negotiating your own contracts directly is the ultimate way to flex that power. This is how FlexMedStaff is changing the game so that all physicians can be successful at cutting out the middleman.

Obstetrician & Gynecologist
The input from my FlexMedStaff mentor has been invaluable. Without their support, I most certainly would have been taken advantage of by the locums recruiting agencies who are constantly looking for ways to devalue and "squeeze" us. I learned how to protect my CV and avoid being presented to facilities without my permission and how to negotiate for better rates. I also learned tips for direct contracting with facilities myself and avoiding the locums agencies altogether. I would argue that rates are still not where they should be for my specialty (Ob/Gyn); however, now I feel that my time is valued and respected. I have control over my schedule, and my work satisfaction and overall wellbeing has increased dramatically. I cannot emphasize enough how vital it is to have a physician mentor to support and guide you as you make the daunting decision to leave an employed position and to enter the uncharted waters of locums/direct contract opportunities. I wish I had made this transition earlier!
