OnCall Solutions is hiring!

Why Moonlight as a Resident or Fellow?

There are several advantages to moonlighting and working locum tenens as a resident or fellow. Both opportunities provide extra income, networking potential, new experiences, and increased autonomy, making them compelling options for many physicians and clinicians in residency and fellowship.

Extra Income

One of the primary benefits of moonlighting as a resident or fellow is the extra income it offers. Moonlighting and locum shifts tend to pay more than traditional shifts, helping you maximize your time on the clock. Working just a few moonlighting shifts each month can substantially boost your overall earnings.

Networking and Future Employment Prospects

Whether you’re a resident exploring moonlighting opportunities or a fellow nearing the end of your training, picking up moonlighting or locum tenens shifts can be invaluable for networking. Moonlighting as a resident allows you to connect with professionals at various healthcare institutions. You’ll get firsthand exposure to different clinics, hospitals, and communities and their respective job benefits.

New Experiences

If you’re feeling stagnant at your current institution, moonlighting and locum tenens offer a fresh perspective. These shifts allow you to learn new techniques, explore diverse work environments, and test new healthcare settings, ensuring your career stays dynamic and fulfilling.

Increased Autonomy

As a physician or clinician resident, you often have limited control over your schedule and patient care decisions. Moonlighting as a resident or fellow or pursuing locum tenens gives you the flexibility to choose your shifts, work location, and even the medical fields you explore. Moonlighting also allows residents greater autonomy in patient care, with mentorship available when needed, offering a safe way to expand your skills.
