Locum Tenens Services

The Stembridge-Salient Agency (SSA) offers Locum Tenens services, connecting quality Physicians with Hospitals and Medical Groups. Here are some of our unique services and approaches:

  • Locum Tenens Placement - Physicians

    We strive to present opportunities which are a good fit, and to create a great coverage experience for you. We also provide very competitive compensation and professional liability coverage.

    Understanding your preferred coverage arrangement is important, and we diligently work to tailor the right match for you as a physician. When you, as a physician, commit to meeting Locum/Temporary coverage needs, we understand your sacrifice, in time and energy, to be away from family and friends. You are also, very likely, to be providing your professional expertise at a facility or for a group with whom you are generally unfamiliar. It is with these understandings that we strive to create a great coverage experience for you.

    SSA provides very competitive compensation and professional liability coverage. We assist with Medical Staff
    Credentialing and Orientation Scheduling. We will also assist with travel arrangements, if necessary, for your assignment. And we are available to help with any issues which may arise during the course of an engagement.

“As a physician who has worked with the Stembridge-Salient Agency for almost 10 years, I can say unequivocally that my relationship with the individual owners has been the best of my career. Their honest straightforward approach to dealing with physicians creates a healthy environment for everyone involved.”
– DAVID H. FARRAR, MD

  • Locum Tenens Placement - Hospitals and Medical Groups

    Our Physicians understand the importance of representing you with professionalism and a sense of commitment. We not only have the ability to meet your temporary coverage needs with quality Physicians, but to do so at a great value. Further, we offer a Locum Tenens Management Service which will save your organization time and money.

    SSA has placed over 250 Physicians with over 60 Medical Centers and Hospitalist groups since 2008. Our Physicians understand the importance of representing you with professionalism and a sense of commitment. We not only have the ability to meet your temporary coverage needs with quality Physicians, but to do so at a great value.

    Further, SSA offers a unique “Locum Tenens Management Service” for Medical Centers. We will assume responsibility for filling all Locums Staffing needs, whether the Locums Physician is sourced by the Medical Center, by SSA, or by another Locums Agency. More specifically:

    • SSA will assume responsibility for all securing and scheduling of Locums Provider coverage
      on behalf of Medical Center
    • Locums Providers will be sourced through one of three channels (at Facility direction)
      - SSA will assist in scheduling of Providers recruited directly by Medical Center
      - SSA will recruit and schedule Providers (as needed) to cover Medical Center
      - SSA will Interact/Negotiate/Coordinate as directed and as necessary with Other Locums Company(s) to complete the schedule

“The Stembridge-Salient Agency has been extraordinary to partner with this year. We were struggling with hospitalist staffing since we had limited contacts and our ‘regular’ physician resources changed. SSA was asked if they could help with our burden. They immediately tapped into their network and began to find coverage.  They tailored the plan to meet our needs and have been flexible as needs changed. The SSA team is diligent, trustworthy, professional, and have made our staffing headaches go away!”
