Tyler Stafford, CFA, CEO and Co-Founder of Panacea said, "Locum tenens healthcare providers have unique financial structures and work schedules.

We are thrilled to work with LocumTenens.com to offer solutions specific to their unique situations, as well as access to financial education."

Panacea is a financial services company created for doctors, by doctors on the premise that traditional banks simply do not understand the financial needs of medical professionals. Panacea provides tailored product offerings and service delivery designed specifically for physicians throughout their career: from medical school, through residency and fellowship, and into attending practice. Through the Panacea Financial Foundation, their non-profit arm, they have dedicated funding to expand the ethnic and racial diversity of the medical field. Panacea's products cover the full suite of banking needs for this unique population, including checking and savings accounts, PRN personal loans, medical school loan refinancing, and practice loans.

Chris Franklin, president of LocumTenens.com, commented, "As 1099 contractors, locum tenens clinicians face unique self-employment challenges. Panacea's full suite of financial services expertly tailored toward medical professionals – from residents to experienced physicians – is a great complement to LocumTenens.com's services. We believe Panacea's offerings will help alleviate our clinicians' common financial concerns so they can focus on patient care."
