The term “physician” originated in the 12th century, when the Old French coined the word “fisiciien.” It is derived from the Latin term for natural science, reflecting its roots in healing, growth, and the study of science. As Europe saw the rise of teaching institutions and hospitals, the first medical school was established in Salerno, Italy. By the 1400s, the word “physician” had been officially incorporated into the dictionary.

Even though physicians have been pillars of society and recognized for their contribution to medical science and patient care for thousands of years, National Physicians Week didn’t come into existence until 2016. It was then that Dr. Kimberly Funches Jackson, through her advocacy group Physicians Working Together (PWT), championed the creation of this week-long celebration to celebrate the dedication, hard work and expertise of physicians.

Similar to medicine and its practice, the art of job hunting in healthcare has evolved over the years. StaffDNA Locum Tenens LLC serves as a job resource for physicians and is a division of StaffDNA, the healthcare staffing technology company that transformed the hiring process for nurses and allied health professionals, allowing physicians and advanced practice providers to secure positions nationwide.

Traditional methods of finding jobs as a physician, like professional networking, medical school alumni networks and medical conferences, have their place when looking for permanent positions. But when a temporary position or a contract role in another city or area of the country is needed, a concise and easy-to-use digital marketplace that instantly shows jobs is the fastest connection to a new role.
