Welcome back to The Developing Doctor Podcast - the place where we bring the heart and soul back to medicine. In this episode, host Dr. Ben Reinking, a pediatric cardiologist and physician development coach, dives into the world of locum tenens, or "locums," exploring why more and more physicians are choosing this flexible career path to reclaim joy, autonomy, and purpose in medicine.
Dr. Ben Reinking is joined by Jordan Weber, brand manager at locums.com, a leading platform that connects doctors and healthcare providers with locum tenens opportunities. Together, they break down what locums work really is, the advantages and trade-offs, and how this model has grown from a simple stopgap for solo practitioners to a dynamic, empowering career option.
Listen in as they discuss everything from escaping burnout and administrative overload to the kinds of physicians who thrive in locums roles, and even practical tips on getting started. Whether you’re a new grad eager to try different practice settings, a seasoned physician looking for more flexibility, or simply curious how locums can help you align your work with your values, this episode offers valuable insights into designing your own medical career, on your own terms.
