Interim Physicians has once again been recognized on the Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine’s annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
The 2025 edition marks the fifth time we have earned this honor, highlighting Interim’s consistent growth and effectiveness at providing temporary health coverage to healthcare facilities across the country.
“Last year was yet another record year for us,” said Interim Physicians’ CEO Tim Hand. “This growth was no accident. We continued investing in our team and technology, enhancing service quality for both our clinicians and client facilities. Making this list five times shows we’re not just growing larger, but also becoming better.”
“While many staffing firms struggled during and after the pandemic, locum tenens staffing firms thrived, as hospitals and physician groups continued to struggle to meet the increased demand for healthcare clinical services,” Hand noted.
“One thing that sets us apart is our emphasis on consistent execution on process, building out the right teams with the right people, and delivering real value to the facilities and providers we serve. That foundation continues to carry us forward.”

Alongside this inclusion on the 2025 Inc. 5000, Interim Physicians achieved several other milestones this year, earning a fourth consecutive Best of Staffing Diamond Award from ClearlyRated for service to both providers and clients. Interim also ranked 18th on the Staffing Industry Analysts list of the Largest Locum Tenens Firms and 63rd on its list of the Fastest-Growing U.S. Staffing Firms, which encompasses all industries, not just healthcare.
