Locum tenens work is a great option for physicians who want to slow down, have more time for family, and/or pursue other options. One family practice physician who works with VISTA bought a blueberry farm. He farms during the season and practices medicine during the off season. Another physician who just joined our ranks took his first assignment in the hospital where his daughter was completing her residency.
There is another side to the story as well. If you are considering semi-retirement, you may want to hire a VISTA locum tenens physician to cover your practice for a month or two, while you see what life "on the outside" is all about. Because patients are served and revenue is generated to offset your overhead expenses, VISTA locum tenens coverage generally pays for itself.
