No secret here, there are many staffing companies out there. They all say the same thing, especially on their websites! However, Atlas Physicians was one of the very first Physician owned-and-operated staffing companies. It was formed around the belief that there should be extremely high-quality physicians practicing medicine in every corner of America. This is not often the case in many rural, underserved, or even urban areas. Whether a large tertiary-care center, trauma center, community hospital, or a rural critical access facility, there are many times large gaps in coverage for Physicians. There is also a large gap in coverage for high-quality, board-certified, experienced travel physicians that have the experience of working with multiple hospital systems and electronic medical record systems.
The job of being a physician is already difficult enough, especially during and after the pandemic. Added to that, the extreme uncertainty of travel itself in this day and age, add another large layer of complexity and need for expertise. Finally, the need to be able to instantly orient oneself and integrate oneself into exceedingly complex hospital systems , and systems of care, make somebody with the right training, attitude, and experience of the utmost importance. Atlas Physicians are masters of “blending in “, This means that they will join the ranks of Medical Staff Providers and start seeing patients on the first day.
In our opinion, that is the difference; continuing, or even starting to provide high-quality medical care at a facility in a completely seamless process. The Delta of the curve between the data points of “good enough “and “spectacular!”, Is what separates average locum tenens firms from the absolute best.
