Surgery locum tenensassignments nationwide.
What to expect as a locum surgery physician.
Typical setting
Community hospital ORs, critical access hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers. Case mix typically includes general, laparoscopic, and emergency surgery.
Typical schedule
Case-based scheduling. On-call requirements vary by facility — Falcon clarifies call expectations before any placement is confirmed.
Assignment length
Short-term OR coverage (1–2 weeks) to longer contracts (1–3 months). Critical access hospitals often need extended coverage due to longer permanent hiring cycles.
