This pillar guide is a long-form reference for cardiologists. It is educational—not medical, legal, or tax advice. For recruiter-led matching after you read it, submit an inquiry with your subspecialty and preferred states.
Malpractice is a deal-breaker category
Never assume who provides coverage. Ask claims-made vs occurrence, limits, and tail responsibility before you sign.
Cath lab and STEMI scopes need coverage matched to risk.
Claims-made vs occurrence
Claims-made policies can require tail after the assignment. Occurrence policies behave differently. Get definitions in writing.
This is educational—not insurance advice.
Who pays
Agency, facility, or physician arrangements vary. Ambiguity here is unacceptable.
If answers change by email thread, stop and reset in the contract.
Questions before day one
Limits? Tail? Prior acts? What happens if a claim arrives after the block ends?
Pair with contract review habits—not hope.
FAQ
- Will a recruiter contact me after I inquire about your selected states?
- Yes—a cardiology recruiter reviews submissions personally. If there are plausible locum opportunities in the states and subspecialty you listed, we will reach out, usually within one business day. If nothing fits, we will say so clearly.
- Are you the hospital employer?
- No. Locum Career Hub is a recruiting service. Your clinical contract would be with the hiring hospital or group if you accept an assignment.
- Can I inquire while licensed elsewhere?
- Requirements vary by assignment. Share current licenses and target dates—we map compact eligibility, full licenses, and realistic privileging timelines.
- How does this page relate to locum cardiologist malpractice?
- This page is educational context for cardiologists exploring locum tenens—not individualized medical, legal, or tax advice. Submit an inquiry when you want recruiter-led matching.

- Do all locum cardiologists get malpractice included?
