1. THE MOST REQUESTED LOCUM
TENENS DESTINATIONS
Travel is one of the many perks of being a locum tenens physician or nurse
practitioner. With travel costs related to the assignment, such as airfare, lodging,
and ground transportation typically covered, it’s possible for locums to visit places
they’ve always wanted to see and get paid to do it.
Our recruiters at Barton Associates put together a list of the most requested locum
tenens assignment locations! Check them out!

2. Hawaii
Warm weather, great beaches, and
volcanoes. What’s not to love about
Hawaii?
It should come as no surprise that
Hawaii tops our list of the most
requested destinations for a locum
tenens assignment. Since it can be a
challenging destination for many to
reach, the idea of visiting the island
chain with most travel expenses paid is
tempting.
Locum tenens assignments on the
islands are in high demand and can be
difficult to obtain—competition can be
fierce. Better work on your CV and talk
to your Barton Physician Recruiter to
get started!

3. Florida
Florida is another warm weather
destination that is popular with
prospective locum tenens providers.
Locums with a family may take an
assignment near Orlando in order to
hit the park on off days, while those
looking to unwind on the beach may
find an assignment close to the state’s
1,350 miles of coastline.
With a high proportion of retirees in
the state, there are also a lot of
hospitals and practices, making
opportunities in Florida readily
available.

4. California
California is a big state with a lot to
offer. Beach bums can enjoy the SoCal
beaches, hikers can scale the Sierra
mountains, and hip city-folk can
explore the state’s cosmopolitan cities.
The California highway system isn’t as
clogged and congested as back east,
meaning locums can cover a lot of
ground on their off days. Californians
have been known to drive hundreds of
miles for a day trip.

5. New
Zealand
Few places on earth have the natural
beauty of New Zealand, teaming with
jagged mountains, crystal-clear lakes,
scenic beaches, and even active
volcanoes. It’s a naturalist’s dream.
New Zealand is also the birthplace of
bungee jumping, making it a top
destination for locums looking for a
thrill.
Barton Associates is now engaging
clients in New Zealand, so if you have
always wanted to work in “God’s Own
Country” let your Barton Recruiter
know!

6. Texas
Texas is as diverse as it is large. The
state includes deserts, prairies, rolling
plains, coastlines, and even
mountains.
Foodies can enjoy TexMex cuisine in
San Antonio, while music fans can visit
Austin, the “Live Music Capital of the
World”.
Locums looking for an authentic Texas
experience may take in the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo, the world’s
largest rodeo.

7. Alaska
Locums looking for the picturesque
beauty of New Zealand without
leaving the United States may look to
Alaska.
Parks, public lands, and wildlife
refuges are scattered throughout the
states, offering all kids of outdoor
adventures.
Barton Associates has been very active
in Alaska – so if you’re interested in
working in the “The Last Frontier”, let
us know!

8. Australia
The Land Down Under is certainly an
attractive destination for locum tenens
providers who want to take advantage
of the ability to travel.
Taking a locum tenens assignment in
Australia for a few months gives folks
the time they need to explore the
continent, including the Great Barrier
Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, the
Outback, and the iconic Sydney
Harbor.
Barton Associates is now active in
Australia, so send in your CV today!

9. Carolinas
Don’t forget to pack your clubs and
your sunscreen if you take an
assignment in the Carolinas, which are
known for their beautiful beaches and
golf courses.
There are nearly 700 championship
caliber golf courses in North and South
Carolina designed by some of the
finest designers.
North Carolina’s Outer Banks is a
beach-lover’s dream with more than
200 miles of coastline.

10. Arizona
With all major cities averaging more
than 250 days of sunshine each year,
it’s hard to beat Arizona weather.
The state also sports a unique
landscape that includes such iconic
landmarks as the Grand Canyon and
the Petrified Forest.
Locum tenens positions are widely
available in the state due to the fact
that the large number of retirees in
the state drives demand for
healthcare.

11. New York
City
The bright lights of the big city attract
all types, even locum tenens
physicians and nurse practitioners.
Although assignments in Manhattan
are in high demand, we have active
placements in the city and often see
openings in the surrounding areas.
