2024 survey of locum tenens physicians and advanced practitioners


A growing number of healthcare professionals ― including physicians and advanced practitioners ― have chosen to work on temporary assignments rather than permanent, full-time roles amid high rates of burnout, provider shortages and turnover.  

In this report, you'll access new findings from AMN Healthcare's 2024 Survey of Locum Tenens Physicians and Advanced Practitioners, which collected experiences, perspectives and demographics of 589 physicians and advanced practitioners working locum tenens nationwide.

  • Issues of burnout persist. Physicians and advanced practitioners are choosing to work locum tenens primarily to improve their working conditions and address feelings of burnout.
  • Schedules are a key attraction. Nearly half (45%) of survey respondents said they would return to permanent practice if schedules, compensation and other aspects of the practice were favorable.
  • Younger providers are working differently. Physicians and advanced practitioners are choosing to work locum tenens earlier in their careers (81% started working locum tenens either right out of training or mid-career).
