7 Global Medical Staffing Global Medical Staffing is the single best resource for doctors looking for locum tenens assignments and for medical facilities looking for doctors to fill their staffing needs. We know that in order to accomplish our mission we must do much more than recruit. Every day, we must make great matches with carefully screened doctors; we must serve our doctors and our clients with integrity, honesty and respect; and we must provide attentive support that enables us to build long-term relationships with our doctors and clients. Because we care about the doctors and healthcare facilities we work with and the patients they serve we always hire caring people whose skills are unmatched. Together, all of our people are writing the story of Global Medical.
