Many thanks to Dr. Sarah Smith for the opportunity to speak about locum tenens on her podcast Sustainable Clinical Medicine . I told stories about my locums experiences (dating back to 1982!) and provided actionable recommendations for those starting out with locums. Of course, my book, "The Locum Life: A Physician's Guide to Locum Tenens," is a good place to start! While there are many worthwhile nonclinical jobs out there, "burned out" doctors should consider locum tenens
