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 first week locum cardiology?
- 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 you recruit non-cardiologists?
- No. We work with cardiologists only—general, interventional, EP, heart failure, imaging, structural, preventive, and pediatric cardiology.
- What if orientation is thin?
- Demand a pathway walkthrough before nights.
- Should I take call night one?
- Only if privileged and oriented—push back on unsafe starts.
