Six Specialties. 2,240+ Providers. One Phone Call.
We don't try to staff everything. We focus on the six surgical and procedural specialties where physician shortages hit hardest and hospitals lose the most revenue — then we build the deepest locums networks in the country for each one.
Every provider board-certified, internally credentialed, and 100% clean malpractice — before we present them.
We Go Deep, Not Wide
Most locum tenens agencies staff 40+ specialties. They have to — their model depends on volume. The result: thin networks, generic recruiters who can't tell the difference between an ERCP and an EGD, and candidates who are "available" but not actually right.
We chose a different path. Six specialties. Each one selected because it sits at the intersection of three forces:
Anesthesiology and CRNA coverage represent the backbone of surgical revenue for any hospital. When your operating rooms can't function due to anesthesia shortages, you're not just losing scheduled cases — you're losing emergency surgical capability, trauma center designation requirements, and the ability to serve your community. Our anesthesia network includes over 700 providers spanning general anesthesia, cardiac, pediatric, obstetric, and pain management subspecialties. We maintain relationships with both physician anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) who can work independently or within anesthesia care team (ACT) models depending on your state regulations and facility preferences.
Gastroenterology became a critical focus area when the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force lowered the colorectal cancer screening age from 50 to 45 in 2021. That single policy change made 22 million additional Americans eligible for screening colonoscopy. The demand surge hit a specialty already facing workforce shortages, particularly in advanced endoscopy. Our GI network includes 180+ gastroenterologists, with 45+ fellowship-trained in advanced therapeutic procedures like ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), EUS (endoscopic ultrasound), EMR/ESD (endoscopic mucosal resection and submucosal dissection), and POEM (peroral endoscopic myotomy). We also cover general gastroenterology, hepatology, and inflammatory bowel disease management.
Diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology represent two sides of the same imaging crisis. Diagnostic radiology volume continues growing faster than the radiologist workforce — a trend projected to continue through 2055 according to the American College of Radiology. Our 120+ diagnostic radiologists cover every subspecialty including neuroradiology, body imaging, musculoskeletal, breast imaging, and nuclear medicine. We also maintain a dedicated teleradiology team of 25+ radiologists for after-hours, weekend, and overflow coverage. Interventional radiology, meanwhile, ranks among the top five physician shortage specialties nationally. IRs are the procedural bottleneck for cancer programs (tumor ablations, Y-90 radioembolization), trauma centers (hemorrhage control, embolization), and ICUs (dialysis access, IVC filters, drain placements). Our 45+ fellowship-trained interventional radiologists cover the full procedural spectrum, and several have launched new IR service lines from scratch.
Critical Physician Shortage
Training pipelines can't keep up with demand
High Revenue Impact
These specialties generate outsized hospital revenue, so vacancies are devastating
Procedural Complexity
You can't just fill a warm seat. You need someone who can actually do the work on Day 1
The result: deeper provider relationships, faster fill times, and recruiters who actually understand what you need — because it's all they do.
The Six Specialties
Click any specialty to explore our full network capabilities, provider credentials, and coverage models
Anesthesiology
The OR generates 60-70% of your hospital's revenue. When you're short anesthesia coverage, that revenue stops. We have the largest anesthesia bench in our network — general, cardiac, pediatric, OB, and pain management — with 48-hour emergency deployment.
CRNA
All 1099 independent contractors. 25+ states with independent practice capability. Hospital, ASC, and office-based. We match the right provider to your model.
Gastroenterology
The screening age dropped to 45. Twenty-two million new patients became eligible. We built one of the deepest advanced endoscopy benches in locums — ERCP, EUS, EMR/ESD, POEM — plus general GI and hepatology.
Diagnostic Radiology
Imaging volume is growing faster than the workforce through 2055. We cover every subspecialty (neuro, body, MSK, breast) plus 25+ dedicated teleradiologists for after-hours and weekend reads.
Interventional Radiology
IR is a top-5 physician shortage and the bottleneck for cancer programs, trauma centers, and ICUs. Our IRs cover oncology, vascular, non-vascular, and emerging procedures. Several have launched new IR programs from scratch.
Cardiology
Targeted cardiology coverage for health systems with specific needs. Contact us directly to discuss availability and match parameters.

The Network Behind Every Placement
What Makes Our Specialty Networks Different
Specialty-Specific Recruiters
Our GI recruiter knows the difference between an ERCP and an ESD. Our anesthesia team understands what cardiac fellowship training actually means. When you call about a specific need, you talk to someone who lives in that specialty — not a generalist reading from a database.
Pre-Credentialed, Procedure-Verified
Every provider in our network is internally credentialed before we ever present them — board certification, malpractice history, references, documentation all current. For procedural specialties (advanced endoscopy, IR, cardiac anesthesia), we verify specific procedural volumes and capabilities. When we say an IR does Y90, they've done it at volume.
Providers Who Come Back
Over 70% of our physicians have completed 3+ assignments through LocumsOne. They stay because we pay fairly (15-22% margin, not 40-60%), describe assignments honestly, and don't play games with non-competes and name-clearing. That loyalty translates to reliability for you — our providers commit, show up, and finish.
Why These Specialties. Why Now.
The shortage is real across surgical and procedural medicine
| Specialty | Shortage Projection | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Anesthesiology | 8,450 shortage by 2037 | HRSA |
| CRNA | 38% demand growth, only 2,400 grads/year | BLS, AANA |
| Gastroenterology | 1,600+ shortage by end of 2025 | Becker's |
| Radiology | Demand outpaces supply through 2055 | Neiman Health Policy Institute |
| Interventional Radiology | Top 5 steepest shortage, 247 fellowship applicants unmatched | AAG Health, NRMP |
| All physicians | Up to 86,000 shortage by 2036 | AAMC |
The U.S. faces a projected shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. We focus on the six specialties where the impact is most acute — and where locums coverage isn't optional, it's how you keep your ORs, endoscopy suites, and imaging departments running.
We use LocumsOne for both anesthesia and GI coverage across our three-campus system. The difference from our previous agencies is night and day — faster response, better-matched providers, and a bill rate that makes our CFO happy. Having one partner who understands both specialties deeply is more valuable than five agencies who do everything generically.
No contracts. No minimums. No exclusivity. Just the right provider for your need.
