Mark H. Knelson, MD, thought his IR career had come to an early end—until he discovered locum tenens work.
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Knelson heard that one of the radiology groups in his town was short on IRs. Because it was so close to his home—approximately 13 minutes—he offered to help, including taking call as needed.
In the audio version of "The unexpected locum" (Fall 2025 IR Quarterly), senior editorial manager Hope Racine describes the career of Mark H. Knelson, MD, who shared his unplanned path to locums work.
