Recorded On: 10/05/2023

Opinions from health care professional talent often go unheard when agencies create policies and processes. Learn first-hand what clinicians are looking for in a staffing agency and how to better support them before and throughout their assignments. Join a panel of industry experts as they discuss pressing questions such as “How would your patient care be impacted if you had less administrative work?”; “When working with a group or agency, what differentiates one from another?”; and “What advice would you have for someone considering 1099/Locums?”
Attendees will walk away with
- First-hand feedback on ways to better support this highly specialized talent pool
- Personal accounts from health care professionals working temporary assignments about what can set one agency apart from others
- High-level comparisons of the different experiences (and pain points) licensing and credentialing provide, whether W-2 or 1099
