Contracting Directly Summit

Ready to take charge of your career by contracting directly with healthcare facilities rather than always going through staffing agencies?

Most physicians have never been shown how the locums world really works or that there is an entirely different path available to them. Many don’t realize how much money agencies keep, or that you can contract directly with healthcare facilities without relying on a staffing company at all. This event is designed to change that.

The Mastering Direct Contracting is a virtual event from FlexMedStaff that gives you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to step into the world of direct contracting. You’ll learn how to set your own rates, negotiate on your own terms, and create flexible clinical arrangements that put you, not an agency, in control.

Whether you’ve only ever worked through staffing agencies or you’re simply curious about what direct contracting could look like, this event shows you exactly how to do it. You are not locked into expensive, non-transparent middlemen. You have options. You can do this yourself.

Direct contracting is not just possible – it’s achievable, practical, and often far more rewarding. And even if you choose to continue working with locums agencies, understanding how to contract directly will strengthen your negotiating power and expand your opportunities as an independent physician.

This event gives you the starting blueprint to take control of your career, your income, and your freedom as a physician without always needing a costly middleman.
