Good stuff fam! Definitely something not talked about enough. Thank you for bringing this topic to light. And also, Starbucks needs to cut that check!! Hahaha
😂😂😂 you got the juice fam. Get at Starbucks for me 🔌 lmao. I appreciate you 💯! 🤞🏾
I’m doing local locums in Georgia so I get to be home every night. In a city with lots of hospitals that aren’t very far from one another, doing local locums is CLUTCH. I live at home and round at damn near every hospital in the city. It’s nice, and lucrative. I love it!
How much does one make annually if they work 25-26 days a month as a locum hospitalist?
Hi it’s nice to hear you’re a locum how are you liking it is it something you’d see your self doing in the next few months
I live in Georgia too what area do you round in?
Absolutely amazing channel, i love your honesty and openness, so please dont stop posting more videos!
Your videos are so informative! Keep it up. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for bringing attention to this! I’ve always been concerned about overwork and and no time for life
Thank you so much for the advice and important information for future hospitalists.
Lots of facts I didn’t know I needed to hear. Thank you for this Dr. O and happy birthday! 🙏🏾
You are very welcome. And thank you! 🙌🏾
Starting my locums journey and stumbled on this video. Nice to see another Baylor Alum and Htown native doing their thing. Best!
Wonderful video thanks so much for all the amazing insight! I am currently a second year medical student right now, so as someone who would like to have a good work-life balance in the future this video helped a lot!
You are very transparent with your content Dr! I appreciate 100%
Very welcome. Thank you 🙏🏾
This is very eye opening. Thanks for sharing.
Great video man, you definitely seem like the kinda dude I’d have fun crushing admissions with on the floors.
You have a great way of explaining things and I like that!
Sheryl Powell thank you!! 🙌🏾

Thanks for sharing Dr. Curtis O! Locums are super underrated. Shout out to all the Locum Tenens out there!
Couldn’t agree more! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Stupendous content. I am a 4th year medical student and had never heard of locums. Sic em
I appreciate it! Glad I could touch on something you hadn’t heard before 💪🏾
Beautiful! This is what I was looking for!
I appreciate it! Please share with all your colleagues/friends!
This gives me so much hope as a second year med student facing burnout. Thank you so much for covering this!
Dude same! I'm a 2nd yr now and I'm feeling it
@@StudyWithM3E46same… currently a second year feeling it HARD

Always Great content! 🙌🏽
Thank you!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for this very helpful video!
Right right right!!!!
Knowledge!!!!
Hey you make excellent videos! Straight from the heart. Do you mind making a comparison video- IM fellowship vs No fellowship and talk about things like:
Competitiveness and job prospects after fellowships (especially in sub-specialties such as ID, Nephro, Endocrine)
Long term pros n cons of each hospitalist/internist/nocturnist
Academia vs private practice.
Thank you so much!!
This was really informative. Thank you!
You are very welcome! 🙏🏾
Looking at dental locums for shorter commitments and variety of cities. Thank you for the honesty and taking time to make & post this. Especially about the taxes! Been there man. Don't remember the movie, but do remember the quote. When the lady passed the new guy his first check, the look on his face. . . and she says "govment sho take a bite don't she?". Appreciate you.
What about a travel trailer so it might feel a little more like home?
Thanks alot for the info.
Im a first year med student! I personally never heard about this before but it sounds pretty good
Really appreciate your videos Dr.! Current M3 who’s planning on IM to pursue Hospitalist work :) It’s hard to find videos talking about this field so I appreciate you taking the time to make them!
I appreciate your comment and I’m glad I could help out! Good luck to you! Great field to join! 🙌🏾
Excellent vid!
Great informative video!
seriously good advice
Great video. I guess this answered all of the questions I commented on the other video😂
😂😂😂 good I’m glad I did
Great video! You should talk about student loan repayment especially since I heard international med schools had insane price tags 300k+
Yup. I plan on doing that sometime soon 💪🏾 and thank you
Thank you!
That was outstanding
I appreciate that my man! 💪🏾
Hello Dr. Curtis! You just earned a subscriber! Your videos are so helpful so thank you for making them. I have a question, would it be harder for new graduate straight out of residency to find a locum job? Do I need to work for a few years before becoming a locum doc?
I was in the Navy. Six months straight is a normal way of doing things.
Thanks!
Great video!
we love you dr. curtis
If there are any Family Practice MDs who are looking to work outpatient, I’m your guy. Amazing video and very informative, locums is all about work life balance and paying our providers first!
Excellent video bro!
I appreciate that Jamelle! 💪🏾
I am a recruiter for a locums agency and this video is very informative!
Are you still recruiting
Thank you for the info. I've watched all your videos. The transparency is on 100%. Really appreciate it. Quick question, since doctors are doing locum, have you notice the workload unevenly spread out to the locum docs?
Thank you for supporting my content! If I understand your questions correctly, its pretty spread evenly for locum a for a particular company at a particular hospital but it can definitely be uneven across different locum companies at different hospitals just because every hospital has their own unique system that they have in place which affects the locum company using their docs at that particular place. Hope that makes sense and answers your question
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 most definitely. Thank you for your speedy response and filling up the internet space with your knowledge and experience 🙏🏽✊🏾💪🏾#internalmedicine
Perfect!
Thank you. I’m late in my career and would like more time with family and travel and burning out with my private practice for 15 years then as an employed physician in the last few. I always am scared of not having health insurance is what has made me not go the locums route before.
Good content
Great Content ‼️🗣
I appreciate that Shawn! 💪🏾
Locums really global, doctors in England been killing them too🤣, great vid🤞🏾
😂😂😂😂 that’s what’s up! I didn’t know how far locums extended. Appreciate
you letting me know
I didn’t even finish middle school and i’m literally planning my whole future 😬😅
Great information!! Do you know if this applies to per diem providers in regards to write offs?
About the write offs make sure you get a good CPA. I was an independent contractor and went to HR block to get my taxes done in 2018 and the write offs I ended up paying them all back because the accountant did all incorrect. $12k bill bounced back to me.
Most definitely. My CPA is absolutely phenomenal. He’s done extremely well for me
Wish I would have done this after residency
lol on the pain @16:40
Dr Curtis, Which program did you choose for the residency? Could you provide me guidance how it works right after residency ? As I didn’t know this before, but I wanted something to practice along with traveling. I want something to balance work and life
21 days straight! Damn. The most I’ve done was 12 straight 12 hr shifts and I thought “never again”
Thanks. You mentioned S corp and LLC. Were you an LLC during the time when you worked as locums?
Yooo, I'm from Lake Charles! I'm a FM PGY2 and looking at hospitalists. The locum side is appealing to me. What did you think of LC and how long was your locum stay there? All my fam is there and they'd love me to come home for a bit post residency. All the best, appreciate the content. New subscriber.
Chillest doctor ever lol
How are locums for surgical specialties? I'm guessing it's different. For example, it might be hard to operate on patients and also create your own schedule. Maybe only if you do longer streches and stop operating a few days before you leave?
Really good question. I honestly do not know how theirs works but you bring up a really good point with regards to long stretches. I’d have to look into but I don’t know anyone personally who is doing locums from A surgery perspective
When you pay taxes for the states you work and let’s say you work in 2 different states for that tax year, do you pay the report the full tax year income to each state or just pay state income tax for the amount you earned in each state?
Can you use Section 179 with 6,000+lb car with locums?
Also, aren’t there scheduling limitations with locums? Nocturnist asking here
I’d be worried I would forget treatment guidelines of if I took off 6 months and it would be hard to get back into the hustle after 6 months
Can you share which locums agency you use? Can you give some advice on what to look for in an agency? I’m ortho.
Let's say I really value family time over money. Can locums be a great alternative to career breaks when it comes to raising kids? (Like I would work 2 months and rest for the remaining 10 months without losing my job/contract. Is this feasible?)
I know it depends possibility you give a range of salaries? Like if you work yourself to death how high can you make
Is it possible to work as a hospitalist and then do locums in outpatient clinic on a couple of your off days?
Dr Curtis please can you do locums as a surgery resident that just finished his training?
Thanks for this! I had no idea of what locums Is . Is there something similar while in residency?
You’re welcome! Closest thing to this in residency is moonlighting
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 I’m guessing that’s again some programs policies?
you can get around the financing to buy a home easily with a DSCR loan or No Income Verification loan (depending on the state). trust me its easy
What locum companies do you recommend?
how can i contact locum companies? I am new in this, and I’d like some advices like that one.
Nice video, btw.
Great content! I am a first-year med student and I am really interested in locum tenens. As you talked about and what I heard the pay rate is a lot more especially when you can negotiate a higher rate, however, I have also heard that the locum companies that you work for take a large percentage of it. I have been looking for the average number of what they charge, do you know by any chance? I wasn't sure because I thought I read that the percentage that some companies take is not even worth it, so I got confused how locum docs make that much. Please let me know, thank you :)
What’s up Hamza, Are you talking about locums as a Hospitalist?
Hi, Hamza! My name is Talia, I am actually a consultant specifically for locums AND I work with Hospitalists!
So, when you work for a locums company, you are not charged anything. We pay you! We charge the client (i.e., the hospital who hires US to hire YOU). It is always a locum consultant’s job to get the best rate possible for the provider. Actually just today, I refused an offer from a hospital for my provider, because I knew that it in no way reflected my provider’s capabilities. There are, unfortunately, locum companies who try to undersell their provider just to ensure that they get a listing with a hospital. That is not what they should be doing!
I know this post was 10 months ago, but I happened to be on and Dr. Curis O. caught my attention, and I noticed your comment! :) Let me know if I can help you out! :)
Hey hey, I've been doing locums only since 2018 as a hospitalist. First few yrs I did 14 on 14 off and then cut back to 7 on 21 off at age 40 last yr(make $170K/yr working 12 weeks a yr). Never sign a contract with a hospital if you can avoid it. If you hate a hospital with locums then just never go back.
@@jamesedward550 very nice! May I ask how many locum jobs you work in a year?
@@taliaengstrom6601 Good morning lady! I am a student and would like to know if this type of work has the same security that a contract has, for example: medical malpractice insurance and the like... Thanks in advance!
Working in NHS as a junior doctor
How locum hours can a doctor work practically ???
Pls reply
Can an overseas dr get a visa for do locum in uk?
Can you do locums before passing boards?
Does it really matter after taxes? The more you’re making the more they’re taking?
Can you be an internist at a hospital AND do Locums when you want on your weeks off? It seems like that would be the best of both worlds and maximize income. Stability of your regular job and then if you had the energy or desire to increase income for that month then you pick up some Locum shifts
Just a week questions, can you do locums as a resident doctor?
How long did it take you to finally become a doctor?
Can you talk about nocturnist vs being a daytime hospitalist?
Afri3290 thats a really good one to do that I didn’t even think about. I’ll for sure do that. Thank you for the idea
Thank you for the info, I would also like to know if you can recommend affordable caribbean medical school because ROSS is quite expensive.
Ross and St.George are head and shoulders above other Caribbean schools. I don’t know the others well enough to recommend any of them confidently, sorry.
Check out Trinity.
@@AZ-wg3eg Thank you
I bet you made 400 that year with my rough math ability. Thats damn good for IM locums
Lmao nice guess.. I’ll let you speculate lol
Is it possible to do locum during residency?
I would think you don't get the same benefit as a locum the way that contract would get such as health benefit, 401k, and all that right? At least you get the up front cash and get to see different states.
I’m currently in college with a 2.1 waiting on my grades from this semester how long did it take you to raise yours. Like how much would you see a rise each semester
It raised either each semester. Don’t give up hope. Keep pushing 💪🏾
@@doctorcurtiso.7853 ok doc l now have a overall 2.5 l will have above a 3.0 this spring semester I’ll update you in April
can u do locums on a j1 or h1 visa?
You make more money but do you have to pay for transport and lodging while you are away ?
Fast forward 2023. Still valid ⁉️with the doctors shortage post pandemic etc
If its black i will upvote & thas a fact 💪🏽💪🏽. M3 & I appreciate the info on this Jugg sir!
Very welcome Boss!
