Our Story
​The Birth of an Idea:
Parrot.MD began with the simple yet profound realization: the traditional locums agency model, though functional, is fraught with inefficiencies and high costs. In it, Hospitals are burdened with exorbitant fees, lengthy contracts, and limited choice, while clinicians face restrictive non-competes, almost no payment transparency, and limited options for independent employment.
​​
Armed with a passion for problem-solving and a rebel ingenuity, our team embarked on a mission to build something new, integrating technology where appropriate to create an efficient and cost-effective seamless alternative. From this vision, Parrot.MD took flight – a game-changing platform that empowers hospitals and clinicians to reimagine healthcare staffing. ​
Our services extend across various regions, but rural care holds a special place in our foundation and mission. We understand the unique challenges faced by rural hospitals and the critical need for accessible, high-quality care in these areas. Parrot.MD’s approach ensures that even the most remote hospitals can connect with top-tier clinicians, thus bridging the gap in healthcare disparities.
​
A New Era in Healthcare Staffing:
Until Parrot.MD, there was no viable alternative to locum tenens. For decades, the industry operated like a closed game, leaving facilities and clinicians with no real options. Today, Parrot.MD stands as a compelling alternative, offering a hassle-free and significantly lower-cost solution for short-term staffing needs. Clinicians now have a choice for their short-term employment, and hospitals can opt in to a more efficient, cost-effective staffing model.
