As a company dedicated to people—and the people who care for people—we’re focused on bringing quality healthcare to communities in need by finding in-demand specialty clinical talent to fill urgent care gaps, always prioritizing purpose over profit.
Locum tenens is derived from a Latin phrase meaning “to hold the place of.” Most commonly referring to temporary physicians, locum tenens physicians contract with staffing agencies to perform medical services for a healthcare organization over a certain period of time. The physician works as an independent contractor paid through the staffing agency, which is in turn paid by the healthcare facility.
Quest started operations in 2010 and has grown consistently since then. Our leaders sit on committees within National Association of Physician Recruiters (NAPR) and National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO).
