How long does the Pennsylvania medical board take for locum Neuroradiology licensing?
Pennsylvania is not yet an IMLC compact member — traditional licensing required (30–45 days).
Pennsylvania requires child abuse mandatory training for all licensees. Locums One coordinates PATCH, IdentoGO fingerprinting, and FCVS submission simultaneously.
Locums One handles all licensing and credentialing for placed physicians — including Pennsylvania medical board applications, FCVS coordination, and DEA registration. Average credentialing time: 21 days (industry average: 60–90 days).

Built Different. Here's How.
Your Locum Career, Managed End-to-End
Other agencies place you on one assignment, then you start the paperwork from zero on the next. We carry it forward.
Your credentialing packet, license expirations, malpractice tail coverage, tax-pro consult, year-ahead assignment planning — all tracked in one place by the same team. You stay focused on patients. We handle the rest of your locum career.
IMLC application service — for $99 refundable deposit we handle your full multi-state application, you get 40+ state licenses in 3–4 weeks
Nobody else in locum tenens does this end-to-end. We built it because every founder here lived through what didn't.
What's Bundled in Every Assignment
One number on every contract. Everything below included:
- •Malpractice — $1M/$3M claims-made with tail. No separate invoice.
- •Travel + lodging — round-trip + furnished housing within a 60-mile radius
- •1099 tax-pro consult — a CPA on retainer for your 1099 questions, free for placed physicians
- •License-renewal tracking — we monitor your state expirations and prompt 90 days out
- •Same recruiter every assignment — see the next block
One contract. One bill. One number that already includes the things other agencies bill separately.
Same Recruiter Every Assignment
Other agencies hand you to a new recruiter every job. The first call is always "Tell me about your case mix..." — again. We don't.
Your recruiter knows your specialty, your case-mix preferences, your spouse's name, and which Tuesday you can't be on call. They stay with you across every assignment, every state, every year. The relationship compounds.
What We Won't Do
- •No name-clearing without your written approval.
- •No CV submissions to facilities you didn't review first.
- •No calls during shifts.
- •No surprise fees post-acceptance.
- •No "your rate just changed because the facility renegotiated."
Predictability beats every other selling point in locum tenens. We commit to it in writing.
We Optimize for You, Not the Facility
Most agencies measure success by placements made. We measure it by physicians who book a second assignment.
Same bid, two physicians? We push back to the facility for the better-fit candidate, not the one who'll close fastest.
Better-paying gig at a different agency? We tell you. (Then we work to win you back next round with a better one.)
We work for you. The facility relationships compound when you stay — that's the model.
Built by Physicians Who Got Tired of This
Locums One was built by physicians who spent years on the receiving end of opaque agencies. Every workflow — credentialing, contract review, rate negotiation, malpractice handling — was designed by someone who'd been a locum themselves and watched the system break in the same places, every time.
We're not a tech company that figured out staffing. We're a physician company that figured out tech.
The Cost of Opaque Agencies
The typical locum loses $40,000–$60,000/year to hidden agency markup. Most never see the bill rate, only the take-home.
We publish the math. Our gated rate sheet shows what facilities actually pay, what physicians take home, what we keep, and where every other line item goes.
Physicians who read it and switch see the difference inside one assignment cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions — Locum Neuroradiology in Pennsylvania
What qualifications do locum neuroradiologists need?
ACGME-accredited Neuroradiology fellowship completion is required. Most facilities require CAQ in Neuroradiology, proficiency in brain and spine MRI/CT interpretation, and experience with neurovascular imaging (CTA, MRA, DSA).

What do locum neuroradiologists earn per hour?
Locum neuroradiologists typically earn $495–$500 per hour — a 15–20% premium over general diagnostic radiology ($400–$500/hr). The premium reflects fellowship requirements, CAQ certification, and the complexity of neurovascular and oncologic neuroradiology interpretation.
Do you place neuroradiologists for overnight stroke coverage?
Yes. We place neuroradiologists for 24/7 stroke protocol coverage, overnight on-call, and teleradiology-based remote interpretation. Stroke center coverage is one of the highest-demand neuroradiology assignments.
