Moonlighting is when you work extra shifts in addition to your full-time job, and it’s an excellent way to gain experience and income as a fellow or new provider. Moonlighting physicians fill an essential gap in hospitals and healthcare practices by providing relief during nights and weekends. While full-time providers enjoy some much-needed time off, moonlighters get the opportunity to further hone their skills.
Unlike locum work, moonlighting is supplementary employment for providers in residency programs or full-time employment. Instead of taking temporary daytime assignments and hopping from job to job, moonlighting physicians often stay with the same employer for years.
Over 16 years ago, the founders of Moonlighting Solutions recognized an unmet need for high-quality moonlighting physicians. We used our experience as physicians and medical administrators to create the nation’s first moonlighting firm. Since then, our team has carefully selected the most talented moonlighters and facilitated a meaningful relationship with hospitals and practices, resulting in a win-win situation for both parties.
