Days Hours Minutes Seconds
I am about to reveal THREE FACTS that will probably shock you. Here it goes:
FACT #1: The number of doctors working locum tenens has DOUBLED since 2002.
FACT #2: Due to HIGHER than ever demand, it’s getting HARDER and HARDER to compete for locum tenens spots as a hospitalist.
FACT #3: If you are thinking you’re going to find amazing (or in some states even any) gigs by simply calling one or two big name staffing agencies, YOU ARE WRONG!!!
This approach will get you NOWHERE: You’ll likely waste your time, end up getting NO shifts scheduled and will be forced to sign up with whatever permanent job is available at the time.
The point is:
You have to stand out from THOUSANDS of “locum tenens amateurs” failing to make the most of what could’ve been an amazing career.
So…here’s my life-changing offer to you:
I’ve coached DOZENS of physicians and will guide YOU through the potential challenges that you’ll face.
My coaching is extremely SHARP, like a RAZOR: I’ll cut through all the BS and teach you ONLY actionable methods and hacks that I’ve personally used to create my dream lifestyle.
Here’s what I’ll help you to ACHIEVE:
EARN $400K+ WITHOUT working any extra shifts.
FIND locum tenens gigs in the most AMAZING LOCATIONS.
FIND flexible work close to home when you want to spend more time with the family WITHOUT annoying travel.
You’ll learn “secrets of the trade” that are worth tens of thousands of dollars:
How to quit your full-time job to “monetize” your relationship for great profit.
How to “test the waters” when working at any new hospital to avoid getting stuck in a bad situation and bound by the contract.
How to painlessly get off the BAD assignments.
How to use “guerrilla tactics” to negotiate a better pay.
How to build a pipeline of locum tenens gigs to avoid sitting idle for months.
Also, I’ll show you how to avoid these pitfalls:
Avoid “shady” locum tenens agencies with “sneaky” contracts that can put you at risk of LEGAL trouble.
Avoid losing time and money when switching from a traditional to a locum tenens career.
Avoid the WRONG WAY of transitioning from residency to locums.
Avoid drowning in paperwork when you should be ENJOYING your time off.
And…I’ll give you personalized answers to these KEY questions based on YOUR life and career situation:
What STATES are the best to work locum tenens?
What kind of assignments do you need to avoid and what gigs are perfect for residency graduates?
When should you work per-diem and when would you be better off as a locums?
Which state licenses are a good investment and which are a waste of $?
You see…when I started back in 2014 and I had NOBODY I could talk to about locum tenens…
I read whatever was available online: locum tenens agency websites and the Student Doctor Network forum.
And here’s what happened:
Thinking I knew enough about locum tenens (after all, I’d done my online research, right?), I took $135/hr as my first gig with Echo Locums.
Hoping they gave me the maximum pay rate possible, as they seemed to be very “nice” on the phone, I foolishly accepted it…
…just to realize almost a year later that some of my colleagues made $160/hr at the same hospital for the same type of work…
Let me tell you…I was furious…! I felt taken advantage of…
Why were they “underpaying” me!?
You see, I was still in a typical doctor’s “victim” mindset…NOT realizing the locum tenens world is a “jungle.”
You can only imagine how much $$ I would’ve lost long term, had I not figured out what I was worth.
And the worst thing is that my experience is not unique in any way. Here are life examples from the doctors that contact me EVERY DAY frustrated with their failures:
Another couple of examples:
Or…even worse…:
These are just “documented” examples of what doctors are frustrated about.
I’ve had many more private conversations with my colleagues about how locum tenens agencies are taking advantage of naive and unknowledgeable docs, leading to frustration, wasted time and money, and even legal troubles(!!!).
Some people call me a locum tenens GURU…
My name is Vlad. I’ve been a hospitalist since 2012 and I’ve been in the locum tenens “business” since 2014.
My career goal has always been to MAXIMIZE my income AND to create a schedule that FITS MY LIFESTYLE…that’s why after almost three years at my first “permanent” job I switched to locum tenens and never looked back.
Since then, I’ve tested different ways to achieve my dream lifestyle.
I ended up working across multiple states by using locum tenens agencies AND contacting hospitals directly.
And…in the process,I learned A TON of things that are overlooked by many “newbies” that can be a deal breakers when trying to succeed as a “freelance” doc.
In 2017, I started writing about my unique experience to inspire others, revealing “ins and outs” of what most “veteran” locum tenens docs do not share with anybody.
My website grew and became the MOST READ locum tenens blog in AMERICA!
With thousands of unique monthly visitors, I’ve learned about CHALLENGES of OTHER docs who have asked me for help.
On top of that, over the years of interacting, negotiating and working with agencies, hospitalist companies and hospitals, I “accidentally” created a TON of internal industry connections that I use to help my mentees find the “right” jobs, as well to direct them to the “right” people and sources.
Because of my obsession with GETTING more “BANG for the BUCK,” I constantly test and learn new ways to find the best DEALS on the locum tenens market. So I teach ONLY the methods that ACTUALLY work!
And NOW…I am moving forward with a ONE-on-ONE COACHING PROGRAM to HELP YOU, as a new locum tenens physician taking your career to the next level, and to give you personalized advice.
There’s lots of moving parts when it comes to transitioning from residency or full-time employment to locum tenens. I’ll show you step by step how to make sure your transition is smooth.
FInding great locum tenens jobs is not as easy as a lot of doctors may think. Simply calling one or two big name staffing agencies will not cut it.
That’s why in the second coaching session, I’m going to show you EVERYTHING you need to know about securing the best locum tenens jobs.
On top of personalized, value-loaded coaching sessions, you’ll get other AMAZING perks with tremendous value…
Referral to an experienced, locum tenens CPA for a tax review along with a 10% discount:
You’ll likely SAVE THOUSANDS of dollars on taxes and get an expert opinion on legal entity formation (LLC, S-Corp…).
Referral to trusted legal support for contract review:
You’ll get quality service from industry experts with great savings! No more rip-off legal fees by your next-door brick-and-mortar firm.
Access to the locum tenens agency database:
One place with all the BEST locum tenens agencies and their contact info.
Lifetime access to the “risk” tool:
Learn crucial info about malpractice risks (i.e., how high are the chances of being sued) and medical board actions against physicians for ALL 50 STATES.
As a result, you’ll pick “physician-friendly” states to work and avoid the trouble.
Locum tenens orientation checklist:
ASK the RIGHT questions during your new hospital orientation to avoid unpleasant surprises later on.

I came across Vlad’s site and signed up for his coaching as I was interested in pursuing a locum tenens hospitalist career. Vlad walked me through the entire process from credentialing and licensing to how to find the right assignment and how to deal with agencies.
“Vlad delivers real results: I followed his advise and found a gig in MN paying $207.5/hr (!!!). That’s the highest pay rate I’ve ever seen”.
I highly recommend signing up for his coaching and you will not regret it!
Dr. Daryl GohInternal Medicine, HI
I have nothing but great things to say about Vlad and his coaching. He clearly has a vast knowledge about hospital medicine and the locum tenens industry.
He gave me guidance that helped me tremendously:
“Now I know exactly how to succeed as a locum tenens hospitalist after the residency.”
I look forward to scheduling another coaching session with Vlad! I really appreciate you for doing this and giving me this actionable knowledge.
Dr. Kevin PatrickInternal Medicine, AZ
The coaching with Vlad was exactly what I was looking for and answered all my burning questions.
“It is one thing to read blogs and casually talk to someone, but getting one-on-one coaching from a real locum tenens Guru is indispensable”.
I really appreciated Vlad taking the time to do that and give me amazing actionable knowledge!
Dr. Mark ManueleFamily Medicine, NC
After years of medical training, Locums work to start my career quickly became very interesting to me. Despite all the great opportunities this path offers, it is one less familiar to the academic training environment. As such I found myself with many questions as I started my research.
“Vlad was immensely helpful in clarifying questions…, providing tips and tricks from years of experience, and help tailor make a plan for me to embark into Locums with confidence and clarity.”
Dr. Matt CampbellPsychiatry, NY
I am a resident in internal medicine looking for a flexible way to earn income and continue to develop my clinical skills after residency as I figure out next steps. Locums work is perfectly suited for this, but I had no idea how to get started!
You can spend many hours fumbling through somewhat contradictory sources on your own while never truly knowing if you got it right, or you can save yourself the hassle and hire Vlad!
“I found the information helpful, comprehensive, and concise all for a cost that is significantly less than what you would earn in just one shift”.
For me it definitely makes sense if you are new to locums work and trying to figure out the lay of the land.
Dr. John GaudetHospitalist, MA
As someone who had done coaching sessions with Dr. Vlad a few months into my post-residency hospitalist career,
“I wish I reached out to Vlad sooner! “
It really was a struggle to piece all this information on locum tenens together without someone like Dr. Vlad to guide me, so he does provide a much-needed short cut. I think anyone wanting to jump into locum tenens work will benefit tremendously from his coaching!

Speaking with Vlad was great!
“I feel much more confident accepting a locums assignment after our conversation.”
Dr. K. MartinOrthopedic Surgeon, NY
I’ve had some great coaching from Vlad; rather than reinventing the wheel, he’s happy to share a wealth of tips and tricks that can save many hours of fruitlessly looking for the right job.

He has something to offer for beginners or veterans of Locum Tenens alike.

My Coaching program is CME Certified, which means:
If you give all my methods an honest try, ask for help, follow up with me and are still not satisfied with my coaching, let me know and I’ll take care of your refund.
What specialties do you coach?
I help physicians regardless of the specialty they are in.
Here’s a list of specialties I’ve worked with in the last six months: internal medicine (hospitalist and primary care); anesthesiology; cardiology; family medicine (hospitalist, primary care and urgent care); ENT; radiology and interventional radiology; emergency medicine; orthopedic surgery; neurology; psychiatry; ob/gyn; PM&R; and pediatrics (hospitalist and primary care).
Is your coaching program available to residents?
Absolutely!
I cannot emphasize enough how valuable my coaching program is for residents/fellows.
You see, residency programs DO NOT provide any meaningful business or career building training, which means while you graduate extremely competent in helping your patients, you are absolutely clueless how to help your career and finances.
I’ve coached dozens of residents this year and the feedback has been that not only do they feel much more comfortable starting a locum tenens career, but they also make top money on day one after their graduation.
Do you offer any discounts to the residents/fellows?
Yes!
I understand that residents and fellows have “tight” budgets. That’s why I offer 20% discount.
On top of that I offer two different payment plans to postpone your payments until you’re making “real” money as an attending.
Reach out to me for details at vlad @ thelocumguy.com

What will I learn from you during our coaching sessions?
In a nutshell, I’ll walk you through all the steps to succeed as a locum tenens doc: you’ll learn how to prepare for it, how to make top dollars, how to find the best jobs and how to avoid potential troubles.
