What types of medical providers does Wilderness Medical Staffing place?
We specialize in staffing nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians.
Why work with Wilderness Medical Staffing?
We are uniquely positioned to offer you exceptional medical providers and excellent service. Our company was founded by a medical provider who spent more than two decades living and working in rural and remote areas. Over the past decade, we have earned a reputation for placing excellent, experienced medical providers across the Northwest and Alaska. Using our extensive network of medical providers and experience in the industry, we will find you a top-notch provider. Then, during the assignment, we will provide 24/7 support to ensure a seamless coverage.
How long will it take for WMS to get a locum tenens provider on-site?
Once we learn your about staffing needs, we will get to work immediately and use our extensive database to find the best provider for your site. If you need a provider immediately, then we aim to secure a top-notch candidate within 14 days, if not sooner.
What is Wilderness Medical Staffing’s approach to staffing?
We believe it is vital to match providers and clients based on fit, experience, skills, and interests. Our Chief Medical Officer personally interviews every prospective provider prior to any assignment and assesses their medical skills and professionalism.
How much will the locum tenens provider cost?
We offer competitive rates to both our clients and providers. Our rates depend on:
1. The type of provider needed (e.g. physician, nurse practitioner);
2. How skilled the provider needs to be (e.g. trauma skills, primary care only); and
3. What the requirements are for a given position, including the length of an assignment and duties involved.
No matter what, we will always find the most qualified provider based off of your needs and preferences.
Will we need to provide housing for the provider?
Yes. In order to attract excellent providers, we find and provide suitable housing and local transportation for the provider on site.
Will we need to license the provider and make sure he/she has the proper certifications for the job?
No. Each provider is an independent contractor who will come to your facility with a state professional license and the all of the required certifications for your open position.
Does Wilderness Medical Staffing place permanent positions?
Yes. Although we are a locum tenens company, we do staff permanent and temporary-to-permanent positions as well.
