Health Care Employers
Kansas Locum Tenens (KLT) and Kansas Locum Tenens Plus (KLT+) connect providers with Kansas rural and underserved health employers that need temporary primary and specialty care medical coverage. KLT/KLT+ can help your rural health care organization by:
- Providing coverage for a physician who needs time off for a personal or professional reason, or filling in when you are short-staffed
- Offering physicians a work-life balance by lessening call time
- Supporting the goal to strengthen and expand the rural components of the residency and fellowship programs and the perspectives of the academic faculty
- Serving as a great recruitment and retention tool as many residents and fellows use KLT as a key component in their practice search
