Episode notes

Are you craving more freedom, flexibility, and increased income in your medical career? There’s a way to do it immediately. It’s called Locum Tenens, and today I will tell you everything about it.

Locum Tenens is all about embracing temporary assignments that can skyrocket your career and transform your life.

This modality of work gives you the freedom to decide when and where you work, the flexibility to explore different locations, and the financial gains to relish every moment. You may move to a rural area for a brief period of time and earn three times your current salary. The possibilities are mind-blowing.

I've experienced it firsthand, practicing cardiology in beautiful Hawaii with my wife and baby - it was the time of my life! So I’m not exaggerating when I say that Locum Tenens could be the key to unlocking everything you've been searching for - from free time to geographical freedom.

The most common question I get from my peers or coaching clients is, "How can I achieve true freedom?" Well, this is it. Let me guide you to attain location freedom and time freedom right now.

“You are in charge. You go back from being a victim, back to being a victor, and that’s why I like it. You have freedom, you have free time, you have flexibility, you have higher income and career fulfillment. So why not try it?” - Dr. Vikram Raya
