Many thanks to Chad Saley of CompHealth for asking me to contribute this piece on locum tenens and self-employment. For this article, I examined the pros and cons of self-employment for physicians. Self-employment offers the opportunity to be your own boss, make your own schedule, and increase tax-deductible retirement savings. Of course, there are downsides as well, including last-minute cancellations, lack of health insurance, and unpaid travel time. Whether locums is the best path depends on each physician's personal and professional goals.
