One of the most valuable aspects of this program is the way it walks you through the steps of setting yourself up as an independent contractor. Thankfully, I was able to establish my LLC and S-Corp with the support of a financial advisor and tax advisor who truly did their homework for me.

Meet Ali Chaudhary M.D.

“If we don’t build our own system, we stay stuck in theirs.” — Ali Chaudhary M.D.

I’m Ali Chaudhary M.D., emergency physician, entrepreneur, and founder of Locums United.

After years of being overworked, underpaid, and burned out in the traditional medical system, I took a leap and built my own locum practice from scratch, earning over $500K/year with total control of my schedule.

Now, my mission is simple: to liberate physicians from the W-2 trap and hand them the exact roadmap I used to break free.

TESTIMONIALS

You’re Not the Only One Done With the Medical Matrix…

"The program is clear, actionable, and exactly what I needed."

- Dr. Michael Diaz (Board Certified EM Doctor)

I recently purchased LocumOs and just dropped a comment in the group— I’ve been incredibly impressed. I’m almost through the entire thing, and have been watching it between shifts on my current travel assignment.

The program is clear, actionable, and exactly what I needed. It really resonated with me, especially as someone who’s always had a strong entrepreneurial drive and a deep desire to build something of my own.

What stood out the most was the alignment with my own goals: I’m ready to make the transition, step away from the corporate grind, and finally live life on my own terms. Your story and the structure you’ve built through LocumOS really inspired me.

Thanks again for creating something that’s helping physicians like me take that leap. Really strong work brother!

P.S. Applause on the excellent taste in cars. Buying an exotic is a life goal of my own.

"I even learned a few things I never knew about travel perks, business organization, and credit card hacks!"

- Dr. Lauren Shirley (EM Attending Physician)

Dr. Chaudhary’s Locum‘s program is thorough and expertly arranged in bite-size clips perfect for the emergency room physician. He has a wealth of information gained over years of real time experience that would benefit anyone interested in trying out this career path. Just as he is in person, Dr Chaudhary is generous with his knowledge and supportive of docs, looking for a better way to leverage our expertise and career to maximize the return on time and expertise. He is an integral force in supporting the locum community to help raise us all up.

Since working with him, I am no longer hesitant to dictate my hourly wage and turn down shifts that aren’t adequately reimbursed. This has resulted in many higher, paying opportunities that I would’ve never had otherwise.

I even learned a few things I never knew about travel perks, business organization, and credit card hacks!

Just about anyone in emergency medicine looking to learn more about Locum would benefit from this program.

"You have provided a very clear path for physicians who want to do locums"

- Dr. Joshua Lewis (EM Doctor)

I have made it through all the sections. I do think there is a lot of great info for someone who is new to the idea of 1099 work. I really like your approach to professionalism and work ethic.

Overall, locums can be a daunting career choice and I think you have provided a very clear path for physicians who want to do locums. I am grateful for your efforts as I have a lot to learn.

"The biggest transformation has been mindset."

- Dr. Mobolaji Fowose (Attending Physician)

”I’m an early-career Emergency Medicine physician, just transitioning from residency into my first attending role. Before working with LocumOS, I thought full-time W2 employment was the only path available to me. After spending a year in that model, I knew there had to be more. I first came across Ali on YouTube and in the EM Docs Facebook group. As I read and listened to his posts, I realized the discomfort I was feeling stemmed from knowing my career could be so much more—and Ali confirmed that. I reached out, and he has since become a truly life-changing mentor.

Through LocumOS, I’ve learned practical, step-by-step strategies that removed so much of the guesswork from the process. I now know how to structure my locums career intentionally, negotiate rates with confidence, and build systems that give me more control over my time and income.

The biggest transformation has been mindset. I went from feeling reactive and uncertain to feeling like I’m firmly in the driver’s seat of my career. That confidence has already led to stronger contracts and greater clarity about my long-term goals.

I would highly recommend LocumOS to new attendings, residents about to graduate, or any physician seeking to build a sustainable and flexible locums career. It’s not just about learning the mechanics—it’s about gaining a clear playbook and the confidence to make the locums path truly work for you. And Ali has built a supportive community that makes this journey even more impactful.

Thank you, Ali, for being such a life-changing mentor.”

"LocumOS is an absolute game changer for emergency medicine physicians. "

- Dr. Amy Macher, MD, MPH

LocumOS is an absolute game changer for emergency medicine physicians. As someone who graduated residency 12 years ago, I can honestly say I wish this resource had been available when I was just starting out. The transition from training to practice can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding the business and financial side of being a physician.

LocumOS makes that process clear, approachable, and empowering for new residents who may not have had any exposure to these topics during training.

One of the most valuable aspects of this program is the way it walks you through the steps of setting yourself up as an independent contractor. Thankfully, I was able to establish my LLC and S-Corp with the support of a financial advisor and tax advisor who truly did their homework for me. For physicians entering locums work, having a strong financial and tax foundation is essential. The single best piece of advice I can share is to partner with a CPA and tax professional who understand the unique considerations of locums and 1099 employment. LocumsOS makes it clear why that matters and how to do it right.

What resonates most with me is the sense of ownership this program inspires. LocumsOS isn’t just about logistics—it’s about taking your power back, knowing your worth, and building a career that reflects your goals and values. For me, that’s meant the confidence to step into full-time locums with excitement instead of uncertainty.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to go through this program, and I truly believe it will change the trajectory for countless residents and practicing physicians alike. LocumOS provides the knowledge, tools, and mindset to thrive—not just survive—in emergency medicine.

Who is LocumOS for (and not for)?

LocumOS is for:

• Burned-out W-2 attendings who want control without blowing up their career

• Doctors curious about locums but overwhelmed by conflicting information

• Current locums who feel underpaid, disorganized, or recruiter-dependent

• Physicians who want to implement locums intentionally and professionally

LocumOS is built for doctors who want leverage, clarity, and ownership.

LocumOS is not for:

• Anyone looking for a recruiter to “handle everything”

• Physicians unwilling to take responsibility for their decisions

• People who want hand-holding instead of systems

• Doctors looking for shortcuts or guarantees

LocumOS rewards ownership. If you want someone else in control, this isn’t it.

Do I need prior locum experience and how long does it take?

No. Prior locum experience is not required.

LocumOS is designed for:

• Doctors brand new to locums

• Doctors exploring locums part-time

• Doctors planning a full transition

• Doctors already doing locums but wanting to do it better

The system meets you where you are.

How long does LocumOS take to complete?

LocumOS is designed to be installed quickly and used long-term.

Most physicians:

• Complete the core system in 1–2 days

• Then follow the 4-week implementation blueprint

• Continue using LocumOS as a reference for months or years

Think: weekend install, then structured execution.

How does the 4-week LocumOS blueprint work?

LocumOS prepares you to implement locums the right way in approximately four weeks.

Week 1: Clarity & Strategy

You determine if locums fits your life, income goals, and long-term plan.

Week 2: Foundation & Setup

You build the business and organizational structure needed to move forward professionally.

Week 3: Licensing, Credentialing & Risk

You learn how to navigate licensing, credentialing, and malpractice without delays or red flags.

Week 4: Contracts, Scheduling & Execution Readiness

You’re prepared to evaluate opportunities, understand contracts, and execute confidently.

At the end of four weeks, you’re not guessing, you’re ready to implement.

Will LocumOS help me make more money?

LocumOS does not promise income or financial results.

What it does is show you how physicians routinely:

• Increase effective pay by $50–$150 per hour

• Avoid costly contract, tax, and structural mistakes

• Design schedules that support their lives

The sequence matters: Clarity first. Execution second. Income follows.

Doctors who apply the system correctly tend to earn more because they make better decisions.

Is LocumOS a coaching or mentorship program?

No. LocumOS is a standalone educational system.

It gives you:

• The complete framework

• Tools, checklists, and execution guidance

• A repeatable process you can apply independently

For physicians who want direct mentorship, community, and live guidance, a separate LocumOS+ program is available by application only.

Is LocumOS CME eligible?

Yes.

LocumOS is ACCME-accredited and includes 17 CME credits.

Many physicians can use CME funds to cover enrollment.

What makes LocumOS different from recruiters, YouTube, or blogs?

Recruiters work for staffing companies.

YouTube gives fragmented advice.

Blogs give opinions without context.

LocumOS gives you:

• A complete system

• A structured execution path

• Decision-making frameworks

• A professional, repeatable approach

It’s designed to help you run your career like an owner, not a passenger.

Is LocumOS a guarantee?

No.

LocumOS is an educational platform.

It does not provide financial, legal, or tax advice.

Results vary based on effort, market conditions, and execution.

What it guarantees is clarity, structure, and preparation, not outcomes.
