Straight answers on fit, credentialing, specialties, and coverage, from a physician owned staffing firm.
Locum tenens is temporary physician coverage. A hospital brings in a credentialed physician for a defined period to cover a vacancy, a leave, a seasonal surge, or a new program ramp. The physician works under the hospital's protocols for the length of the assignment.
Admiral is physician owned and physician led by a practicing hospitalist. Candidates are vetted by clinicians, not keyword filters, and your direct contact is a practicing physician. National agencies optimize for speed to fill. Admiral optimizes for fit, because a placement that does not fit becomes your next vacancy.
For urgent needs, Admiral provides last minute gap coverage through its crisis staffing service. Speed matters, but we never trade away fit to hit a number. We move fast and we place physicians who stay.
Primary focus is Hospitalist, Emergency Medicine, Gastroenterology, and Cardiology. Admiral sources all specialties, including Critical Care, Primary Care, Family Medicine, Anesthesiology, Surgery, OB GYN, and advanced practitioners.
Admiral uses a digital, streamlined credentialing system. Candidate documents are sent to your team on request, and we keep providers on track with your site specific paperwork to compress the credentialing timeline.
Admiral staffs hospitals nationwide, from large health systems to rural medical centers.
Admiral is led by Fahhad Farukhi, MD MBA MA, a practicing hospitalist and Board Certified internist with over 15 years of clinical experience, an MBA in Health Systems Management and Finance, and a Master's in Biomedical Ethics.
