Direct answer: LLC and S-Corp for Locum Cardiologists—educational context for cardiologists exploring locum tenens. Locum Career Hub recruits MD/DO cardiologists and connects you with hospitals and groups when mutual fit exists.
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.
Structure is a tool, not a personality
Some locum cardiologists operate as sole proprietors; others use LLCs or S-corps for liability and tax planning reasons. None of those choices make you more or less of a physician.
Pick structure with a CPA and attorney who understand physician locums—not from a group chat.
What to ask professionals
Ask about reasonable compensation rules, payroll burden, multi-state filings, retirement plan options, and how malpractice and contracts interact with your entity.
Cheap setup with wrong ongoing compliance is expensive.
Timing
Do not delay starting clinically forever waiting for perfect entity paperwork—and do not ignore entity planning until April panic.
A staged plan with clear owners (you, CPA, attorney) beats improvisation.
