  • Title: Temporary physicians can be key to hospital strategies.
    Author: Dearth W.
    Journal: Mod Healthc; 1992 Aug 31; 22(35):32. PubMed ID: 10120333.
    Abstract:
    When a physician staffing crisis occurs, hospitals often turn to services specializing in placing interim doctors, or locum tenens.

Wanda Dearth, who heads an interim physician staffing firm in Irving, Texas, offers some advice.
