The shortage of healthcare workers has been a long-standing issue that was further emphasized by the Covid-19 pandemic that put a greater toll on the lives of medical professionals. As a result, many physicians have suffered from extreme stress and burnout; resignations of full-time physicians caused some clinics to close down and some local hospitals put their workers on longer shifts with increased patient counts.

Physicians choose to work locum tenens for many reasons, whether it’s for a change of pace, extra income, work/life balance, or more freedom to travel. We’ve found six doctors who’ve embraced their adventurous sides and regularly share their experiences on Instagram.

What covid-19 has unraveled for us is how unhealthy we are as a society. We are facing a health care crisis in this country and so many of the medical conditions we as a population are facing lead back to diet. The statistics are sobering.

Most, if not the whole world, have already experienced the horrific video capturing the death of George Floyd, the news of Rayshard Brooks, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others. Add to this the number of riots, peaceful protests gone bad, questionable leadership from the federal government, and police brutality. Oh yes, this is all taking place in the context of a COVID-19 pandemic and now a recession.
