About this listen
In this episode of The Locums Lounge, Dr. Mimi sits down with Dr. Joffre Johnson to talk about the twists and turns of his career—from part-time roles with benefits, to contract changes that forced him to pivot, to finding freedom and leadership through locums work. He shares lessons from practicing in both rural and urban ERs, the grind of COVID, and how stepping into leadership shaped his view of medicine and life.
You’ll hear:
- How contract buyouts and canceled benefits pushed him toward locums
- Why COVID shifted the locums market and created unique opportunities
- The mindset change that turned dysfunction into leadership growth
- Tips for balancing career and parenthood without burning out
- What new grads should know about sign-on bonuses, contracts, and the real value of their time
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can build a sustainable, flexible, and fulfilling career in medicine, this conversation will show you that you can choose your path, and protect your time and energy along the way.
