Thank you to everyone who made our first-ever National Locum Tenens Week a success last year. According to our survey, over 80% of healthcare staffing companies recognized the inaugural promotion. The feedback we received told us to keep it simple for companies to get involved again in 2018, offer the marketing toolkit earlier and with minimal changes to its assets.

With that in mind, here’s a quick update on what to expect from NALTO^® for this year’s promotion, restate our purpose and communicate the valuable opportunity that lies in promoting our industry together.

Last August, the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO) celebrated the first-ever National Locum Tenens Week. The healthcare staffing industry is doing so again this week, and it’s an opportunity to thank locum tenens providers for their dedication to serving millions of patients at medical facilities every day in this country.

As many as 50,000 doctors, more than 5 percent of the physician workforce, practice medicine as a locum tenens doctor in more than 90 percent of our healthcare facilities to provide care for an estimated 7.5 million Americans every year, according to a recent report.
