Per Diem, or “per day,” includes employment/payment based on a day-to-day

healthcare workers and are on an on-call basis. Shifts are often irregular, and

as a clinician, you can accept or deny an assignment based on your schedule.

This is the perfect opportunity for clinicians who want to or need to choose

where, when, and how often they want to work.
