The eighth annual celebration of National Locum Tenens Week will take place Aug. 12 to 16, the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations announced July 15.

“Locum tenens practitioners continue to be the unsung heroes of our healthcare system, offering their expertise and compassion wherever it is needed most,” Jarin Dana, Nalto president and CFO at Fusion Healthcare Staffing, said in a press release. “Their dedication ensures that patients receive quality care, even in the most underserved areas, profoundly impacting communities nationwide.”

More than 52,000 physicians in the US participate in locum tenens assignments annually, according to Nalto.

“As we mark National Locum Tenens Week, we recognize the critical role of locum tenens providers in ensuring healthcare access across the country,” Nalto President-Elect Liz Hale, CEO at MPLT Healthcare, said in a press release.

“Their impeccable commitment to patient care is instrumental in addressing healthcare disparities and improving outcomes,” Hale said. “We express our deepest gratitude for their dedication and service.”
