Location and Lifestyle
Maine stretches from deep northern forest and mountains down to a rocky Atlantic coastline, and every season changes the landscape. On your days off, you can hike or camp in one of Maine's state parks and public lands. Lobster and fresh seafood are a point of pride in Maine, and farm stands and local markets fill in the rest of the table.
About Interim Physicians
Ken Teufel, MD, founded Interim Physicians in 1979 after selling his solo family practice in small-town Texas to cover for physicians who couldn't get away. 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.
Interim staff members average 14 years with the company, so the recruiter who places a clinician is the same one who calls about the next assignment. Clinicians and facility clients have rated Interim 9 or 10 out of 10 often enough to earn ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Diamond award.
