Physician?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Locum_Tenens\"><\/span><b>What Is Locum Tenens?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Locum tenens physicians work temporary assignments at hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities that need additional coverage. These opportunities offer flexibility, competitive pay and the ability to practice in different locations. Before starting any assignment, physicians must complete licensing, credentialing and compliance requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Medical_License\"><\/span><b>Your Medical License<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every state where you work needs its own medical license. You cannot use one license across multiple states. Getting a license can take six weeks to six months, so apply early.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The good news is the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC) lets qualifying doctors apply to more than 40 states at once. If you plan to work in several states, this is the fastest route.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DEA_Registration\"><\/span><b>DEA Registration<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you prescribe controlled substances, you need a federal DEA registration. While a federal DEA registration can often be transferred or updated to cover a new state, you cannot practice using an outdated location handle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crucially, many states also require a separate State Controlled Substance (CDS) or Controlled Substance Registration (CSR) permit in addition to your federal DEA number. Missing this state-specific CDS license is a frequent bottleneck that catches physicians off guard. Check both federal and state-level requirements before every new assignment to avoid limits on your prescriptive authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Malpractice_Insurance\"><\/span><b>Malpractice Insurance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malpractice insurance protects you if a patient files a complaint. Most locum agencies provide it, but there is a catch: agency coverage usually stops when your assignment ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tail coverage protects you after the assignment is over, covering complaints that come in later. Always confirm in writing who pays for tail coverage, you, the agency, or the facility. Never rely on a verbal promise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Master_Document_Checklist\"><\/span><b>Your Master Document Checklist<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gather these essential credentials, health records, and training certificates into a centralized file before reaching out to any agency or facility:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Credentials\"><\/span><b>Professional Credentials<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Current CV with no unexplained gaps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Medical school diploma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Residency and fellowship certificates<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Board certification<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All active state medical licenses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Federal DEA registration certificate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">State Controlled Substance (CDS\/CSR) registrations (where applicable)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BLS \/ ACLS certifications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Malpractice insurance certificate (including tail coverage details)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">NPDB self-query report<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Government-issued photo ID<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three to five professional references with current contact details<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Screenings_and_Compliance\"><\/span><b>Health Screenings and Compliance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Immunization records (Flu, Hepatitis B, and MMR vaccines)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Annual TB (Tuberculosis) test results<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HIPAA training certificate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fire safety and emergency training certificates<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Credentialing_and_What_It_Means\"><\/span><b>Credentialing and What It Means<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Credentialing is how a hospital verifies your qualifications before granting clinical privileges. Through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfmg.org\/online-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Primary Source Verification<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(PSV), credentialing teams contact your medical school, residency program, licensing board, and certifying organizations directly to confirm your credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The process typically takes 30 to 90 days. Industry data shows that incomplete applications, employment gaps, and inconsistent dates are among the most common causes of delays. Keeping your licenses, certifications and work history up to date can help speed up approval and reduce onboarding delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adapting_to_Facility-Specific_Training\"><\/span><b>Adapting to Facility-Specific Training<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While your core compliance documents (like HIPAA certificates) are standard, some facilities accept certificates from outside providers, while others require you to complete their internal training modules. Always confirm these details with your credentialing coordinator before your start date to avoid repeating work you have already completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Staying_Organized_Across_Multiple_Assignments\"><\/span><b>Staying Organized Across Multiple Assignments<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The more assignments you take, the harder it gets to track everything. Licenses expire. Certifications lapse. Insurance certificates change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Set a reminder every three months to review your documents. Check what is expiring soon and renew it early. Tools like CAQH ProView let you upload your documents once and share them with multiple facilities, saving you hours of repeated paperwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Documentation_Mistakes_That_Delay_Approval\"><\/span><b>Common Documentation Mistakes That Delay Approval<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even small mistakes in your paperwork can slow down approval for locum tenens jobs. Credentialing teams check every detail, so accuracy matters from the start. A common issue is missing job history. This includes missing job dates or failing to explain gaps in work. Even short gaps should be clearly listed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Expired certifications can also cause delays. Always check that your licenses, board certifications, and training records are up to date. Old or missing immunization records can also slow things down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another mistake is using outdated references. Facilities need current contact details and recent professional references who can confirm your clinical experience. Before you submit anything, review all documents carefully. A complete and correct file helps avoid delays and keeps your approval process smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_a_Faster_Start\"><\/span><b>Tips for a Faster Start<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Submit a complete packet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Missing documents are the number one cause of credentialing delays.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Build a credentials PDF:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Compile all your master documents into one organized file with a clear cover page.
