CompHealth, a locum tenens agency, published my essay today, "Essential life skills for a good locum tenens doc." While written with a locum tenens physician in mind, the message applies to full-time physician employment as well. The article includes a description of the "3 A's of Success," which I have found very valuable tenets.
I had fun writing the piece because it obliged me to review what works and what doesn't work when beginning a new assignment or job. While I hope to keep my present position for a while, I should probably reread this essay from time to time to help keep my best foot forward!
