Harbor Locums

Emergency department coverage you can schedule around.

Harbor Locums places emergency physicians and advanced practice clinicians in hospitals that have open shifts. We are physician-led, and emergency medicine is the work we know best.

What we staff

We start with the emergency department and cover the acute care services that sit next to it.

Emergency medicine

Physicians and advanced practice clinicians for departments of any size, from single-coverage rural sites to high-volume centers.

  • Emergency physicians
  • Physician assistants
  • Nurse practitioners
  • Trauma centers
  • Critical access hospitals
  • Freestanding emergency departments
  • Single shifts and block schedules
  • Leave and vacancy coverage

Urgent care

Clinicians for urgent care and fast-track settings, including weekend and seasonal demand.

Hospital medicine

Hospitalists and nocturnists for admitting and inpatient coverage.

Observation and critical care

Coverage for observation units and intensive care, as needs arise.

How it works

Four steps from an open shift to a clinician on site.

  1. Tell us the gap

    Send the dates, shift times, volumes and any privileges or certifications you require.

  2. Review candidates

    We present clinicians whose training and experience fit your department. You decide who to interview.

  3. Credential and license

    We assemble the credentialing file and help with state licensing so your medical staff office is not chasing paperwork.

  4. Coverage begins

    We arrange travel and lodging, and we stay in contact with you for the length of the assignment.

Why hospitals work with Harbor

A small agency with a narrow focus, built by people who have worked the shifts.

Physician-led

Harbor was founded by a board-certified emergency physician. Candidates are reviewed by someone who understands what your department asks of them.

Emergency medicine first

We do not try to staff every specialty. Our attention goes to the emergency department and the services around it.

Rates in writing

You get one clear rate for each clinician before you commit, with what it includes spelled out.

For clinicians

If you practice emergency medicine and want locum work, we would like to hear from you. Tell us where you are licensed and what kind of schedule you want.
