Location and Lifestyle
Life in the Florida Panhandle moves at an easier pace than in the southern half of the state, with pine forests and farm country inland and white-sand beaches along the Gulf. On your days off, you can kayak or paddleboard on the region's creeks and rivers. Small towns across the region keep a full calendar of seafood and music festivals for much of the year.
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.
