A facility in Minnesota needs locum tenens coverage one week a month. You'll share day shifts with a second physician and have APP support into the evening. About the Assignment • Shifts: Each shift runs 12 hours, and the facility needs coverage for days and nights. • Volume: The emergency department sees between 10,000 and 15,000 visits a year. • Night coverage: On nights, you'll be the only physician on site, and APP coverage ends in the late evening. • Requirements: You'll need an active Minnesota physician license when you're submitted, along with ABEM board certification. • Privileges: Temporary privileges can be granted within 30 days for a clean file. Location and Lifestyle Minnesota stretches from open prairie in the west to northern forest, with lakes scattered across most of the state and four full seasons. On your days off, you can hike or fish at one of Minnesota's state parks, and in winter you can cross-country ski. About Interim Physicians Ken Teufel, MD, founded the company that became Interim Physicians in 1979, a year after selling a solo family practice in small-town Texas to cover for physicians who couldn't get away. Dr. Teufel served as medical director for 42 years and was one of the founding fathers of locum tenens. The standards Dr. Teufel set still decide which physicians Interim presents to a facility. Interim staff members average 14 years with the company, so the recruiter who places a physician is the same one who calls about the next assignment. Clinicians and facility clients have rated Interim 9 or 10 out of 10 often enough to earn ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Diamond award.
