Ep. 85: Nearly a decade of full-time locum tenens with hospitalist Dr. Faullin Paletsky

Dr. Faullin Paletsky has spent nearly a decade as a full-time locum tenens hospitalist. A night-shift nocturnist who gravitates toward critical access hospitals and has practiced all over the country, he brings a procedural skill set most hospitalists don't like intubations, ventilator management, and central lines. In this episode, Dr. Paletsky joins us to talk about why he chose locums over a permanent job, how he picks assignments and vets locums agencies, life on the road with his wife and their two toy poodles, and his advice for physicians considering the leap.Enjoyed this episode?
