For physicians who are not ready to retire but want to scale down their work hours, locum tenens opportunities provide an excellent alternative to full-time practice.

Physicians can enjoy more reasonable hours while combining work and travel time in a new location. Find locum tenens and volunteer opportunities through the JAMA Career Center®. This service will put physicians in touch with both domestic and international locum tenens and volunteer opportunities through which they can share their time and expertise.
