Location and Lifestyle
North Carolina runs from the mountains in the west through rolling farm country to the Atlantic coast, and the weather lets you get outside in every season. On your days off, you can hike a trail in one of the state parks or national forests. College basketball is a big part of life here, and you'll find fans of one team or another in every corner of the state.
About Interim Physicians
Ken Teufel, MD, founded Interim Physicians in 1979 after selling his solo family practice in small-town Texas to cover for physicians who couldn't get away. As medical director for 42 years, he was one of the founding figures of locum tenens, and his standards still decide which clinicians Interim presents.
Interim staff members average 14 years with the company, so the recruiter who places a clinician is the same one who calls about the next assignment. Clinicians and facility clients have rated Interim 9 or 10 out of 10 often enough to earn ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Diamond award.
