VISTA Staffing Solutions
VISTA Staffing Solutions is a leading provider of temporary physician staffing (also known as locum tenens) in the United States. Founded in 1990, the employee-owned company provides flexible employment options that support the many transitions in a physician’s professional life (i.e., from training into practice, or from full- to part-time practice). The company also builds lasting relationships with practices that need physician staffing by focusing on providing the highest quality physicians and most responsive support services available. We believe volunteer work can tremendously enrich a physician’s career and life, so we are proud supporters of International Volunteers in Urology.
