Q. Why do medical professionals choose travel assignments?
A. Travel assignments are ideal for medical professionals who want to experience new places while they continue to practice their specialties and build their careers. Since many travel assignments are usually thirteen weeks or more - they provide continuous exposure to different people and workplaces, and often different areas of medicine. The high pay and free housing associated with travel work often combine for a higher overall income than a comparable full-time, permanent position.
Q. Why do medical professionals choose to work per diem in a local area?
A. In many cases, per diem medical professionals have chosen this route because they want more control over career paths and/or want to spend more time with outside interests, like family. In other cases, they simply want to spend more time focusing on patient care rather than the internal politics often associated with hospitals and other institutions.
