Location and Lifestyle
California's weather lets you live outdoors most of the year, and the state runs from redwood forests in the north to open desert in the south. On your days off, you can spend a day at one of California's state beaches. Farmers markets run year-round in much of the state, and the food is as varied as the people who live here. With part-time weekday hours and no call, you'll have plenty of time left for all of it.

As medical director for 42 years, he was one of the founding figures of locum tenens, and his standards still decide which clinicians Interim presents.
