Practicing Locum Tenens Since 2014
Getting to Know Dr. Anna:
Why did you first pursue locum tenens work?
I enjoy working in different settings, meeting new physicians. Locum tenens helps me do that and keeps me intellectually engaged.
Describe the most unique assignment you’ve worked.
I have been working with a hospital in just outside Charlotte. It was hard work with long hours but I enjoyed my work also met colleagues and have learnt a lot in the process.
What medical advancements would you like to see in the next 5 years?
Although idealistic, I would like to see more affordable health care for all. I would also like to see improvement in the lab testing with faster turnaround of the results which would help optimizing patient care.
Client feedback: We are glad to have Dr. Anna come to our facility over the past few years, and welcome her back for Locum Tenens coverage. She is a big help and provides much needed relief for our permanent physician.
