Today I present Part 2 of the classic interview from 2019. In this show, Dr. Andrew Wilner, author of The Locum Life, describes why he loves medical writing and locum tenens as career options.

In Part 1 last week, we learned how he became a neurologist and epileptologist who spent years as a full-time medical writer. Now he is Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center where he provides direct patient care and teaches neurology residents on the inpatient and outpatient services.

He also hosts a podcast called The Art of Medicine. And he has written a book called The Locum Life: A Physicians Guide to Locum Tenens, the definitive resource on this topic.

In Part 2 we’ll get much more into locum tenens work, and how he took what he learned to write The Locum Life. With that as an introduction, we will pick up where we left off with Andrew getting back into clinical medicine after a ten-year hiatus.
