<p>As we celebrate <strong>National Physicians Week</strong>, we take a moment to spotlight one of our dedicated providers, <strong>Dr. Suzanne M</strong>. This week is all about recognizing the hard work, compassion, and commitment that physicians bring to their patients and the healthcare field every day. Dr. Suzanne M. exemplifies these qualities, and we are proud to highlight her contributions to both our team and the patients she serves.</p>
<p>Let’s learn more about Dr. Suzanne M.:</p>
<h3>Why did you become a Family Medicine Physician?</h3>
<p>I became a Family Medicine Physician because it allows me to truly help people make positive changes in their health as a whole person, not just in an organ system.&nbsp;I thought about several specialties when in my medical training, but I never wanted to be limited to one area of the body.&nbsp;Therefore, it came down to Emergency Medicine or Family Medicine.&nbsp;I knew I could still do EM as an FM doctor, and used to do that full-time early in my career.&nbsp;Ultimately, I decided the longitudinal care of patients was what I preferred, so I practiced in one primary care practice for about 13 years before starting locums due to family changes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h3>What advice would you give someone starting out in your field/profession?</h3>
<p>If I could advise someone starting out in Family Medicine, I would tell them that it is very rewarding, but time-consuming to do a truly great job! Be patient and kind. Adopt best practices as you go, teaching staff to provide support commensurate with their certifications.&nbsp;Consider being an independent practice if you can get several like-minded family doctors to join you so that you can take care of patients and not worry about feeding a large corporation's subspecialty clinics.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Why did you choose to work locums?</h3>
<p>I chose to work locums because I like to travel.&nbsp;Locums affords me a way to do that while still making money and enjoying my calling as a doctor.&nbsp;Locums was my original plan for finishing residency, but then life happened causing me to delay it until the past 2 years due to more life changes.&nbsp;You should never wait until it's too late to pursue your dreams and passions!</p>
<h3>What do you like about CCL?</h3>
<p>I am not sure how I came across CCL exactly! I had taken some time off after my father passed to provide care for my mom when I decided to get back into in-person part-time work with short-term commitments so that I could continue to meet family demands. I believe I had posted my CV online somewhere or maybe replied directly to a CCL job offering.&nbsp;I just remember that Mike Greenblat was the first person that I really spoke with about my goals with locums.&nbsp;He is very friendly, solution-oriented, and supportive and made the process of starting into locums painless.&nbsp;He always checks in on me and sends reminders about deadlines.&nbsp;He and his team at CCL have been very supportive for the past 2 years I've worked with them.&nbsp;They are ALL-STARS!</p>
<h3>What do you like about working at the facilities CCL has placed you with?</h3>
<p>My favorite thing about working on any assignment is getting to go to interesting places, meet fascinating people and experience their communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;I love the patients that I've encountered everywhere.&nbsp;When you can make a positive difference in someone's suffering and improve their health in a collaborative approach, that is the best feeling!&nbsp;&nbsp;I also love getting out of the "fast lane" and&nbsp;taking the backroads when possible and going to the local parks and restaurants and historical sites.</p>
