<p>
  During National Physicians Week, we are happy to spotlight Family Medicine
  Physician, Dr. Edwin M. Here, Dr. M. shares why he pursued family medicine and
  what he likes about working as a locum!
</p>
<h3>Why did you become a Family Medicine Physician?</h3>
<p>
  I pursued family medicine for many reasons that other physicians pursue it:
  The ability to take care of all age groups, the joy of being able to practice
  in unique settings and develop a diverse skillset, and the need to have
  generalists guide patients to healthy behaviors.
</p>
<h3>
  What advice would you give someone starting out as a Family Medicine
  Physician?
</h3>
<p>
  I would advise new physicians to enjoy the diversity of the specialty and not
  limit their choices to the routine and commonly traveled paths.
</p>
<h3>Why did you choose to work locums?</h3>
<p>
  Locums gives me the ability to augment both my income and my experiences,
  which is a win-win for me in my career.
</p>
<h3>What do you like about Cross Country Locums?</h3>
<p>
  CCL is physician-focused. The people at CCL reach out to me more frequently
  than other locums providers I have worked for and respond quickly to my
  questions and needs as a provider.
</p>
<h3>
  What do you like about working at the facilities Cross Country Locums has
  placed you with?
</h3>
<p>
  I’m on my first locums assignment with CCL. It is as a provider at the
  isolation and quarantine sites for homeless Covid patients. It has been a
  unique and fulfilling experience. Since medical school I have worked with that
  population and CCL gave me the opportunity to continue to serve that need.
