Welcome to the “Sapling Series: Locums Done Right,” with our hosts, Larson Hicks and Dr. Jason Patten! We will be posting a new episode once a month along with the mini version of a previous “Branch Out” episode.

Before taking up medicine, Dr. Jason Patten piloted for the Air Force and worked as a firefighter. But after a few years in the healthcare industry, he founded his own successful locum tenens business. Today, he shares his secrets on how to gain flexibility while working at a hospital and how to become indispensably helpful by playing to your strengths (whether they are soft skills or extreme productivity).
