DEMO: Why Some Locum Assignments Fail Before They Ever Begin


DATE: November 5, 2026

TIME: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (PT)

Finding a locum provider is only half the challenge. Ensuring they are set up for success before they arrive can make the difference between a seamless experience and a costly setback. 

Join CPCA Annual Sponsor ERO Locums for a practical, story-driven conversation exploring why many locum assignments struggle before the provider ever enters the clinic. From missed red flags and credentialing delays to unclear expectations and culture mismatches, this session will examine the often-overlooked factors that determine assignment success. 

Through real-world examples and actionable insights, participants will learn how to take a more intentional approach to workforce planning, provider onboarding, and assignment readiness. Attendees will leave with practical questions and strategies they can immediately apply when evaluating and preparing for future locum placements. 

Whether your organization regularly utilizes locum providers or is considering them as part of your workforce strategy, this session offers valuable lessons for strengthening provider engagement and organizational success.
