Acute Care Surgery Locums, LLC is an idea.

Our vision is to put the administration of medicine back into the hands of healthcare providers. We are surgeon-led, and we are aiming to create a surgical staffing solution built by and for surgeons and advanced practice providers.

While other locums companies might view surgeons as an interchangeable resource, we intend to partner with surgeons and their families to help you reach your own personal goals. Locums is not for everyone, but it does make sense for some people and some phases of life. We aim to come alongside you, to help you define your goals and career path, and when appropriate, to help place you in locums or temp positions across the country.

The current healthcare environment involves a high percentage of employment with little room to negotiate contracts. As we expand our roster of surgeons, we will have more and more leverage to help create balance in the employement model — helping every one of our surgeons to gain freedom to choose a work schedule that best aligns with their expertise and lifestyle, whether through our innovative locum services or as part of our integrated, single-specialty employer model. Eventually, we would like to move towards a model where hospitals bid for your services, and you can engage in work through our company at a pace that meets your goals.

At least, that is the vision.

In the process of getting this company up and running, we have realized we need a critical mass of surgeons and APPs to break into the locums market. If you are interested in being a founding member to help get ACS Locums off the ground, please reach out to discuss your interest further. Eventually, when we have enough surgeons under contract, we hope to move forward with creating a company that values surgeons as individuals, and helps you create the life you first envisioned when you started on your medical training journey — a fulfilling career helping others that fits in your life.
