The Locums Playbook: The Truth About Locums & Negotiating What You Deserve with Dr. Jamila Goldsmith

Dr. Temi Season 3 Episode 35

Hey Money Tribe! If you’ve ever felt trapped in your hospital contract, exhausted from chasing RVUs, or simply wished for more control over your career and income, this episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Jamila Goldsmith, aka Dr. Mimi, a board-certified emergency medicine physician who walked away from traditional employment and built a thriving locums career—on her terms.

Dr. Mimi is pulling back the curtain on what it really means to work locums, from negotiating rates that reflect your worth to structuring your finances so you’re not constantly stressed about taxes. She shares how she escaped the burnout cycle, why she stopped undervaluing herself, and how she created a lifestyle that prioritizes freedom, wealth-building, and financial security.

We’re also debunking the biggest myth in medicine: that having a full-time job equals security. If you’ve ever been blindsided by contract changes, forced to take a pay cut, or made to feel “replaceable,” you need to hear this conversation. Dr. Mimi breaks down the importance of treating yourself like a business, assembling the right financial and legal team, and why every physician should have multiple streams of income—whether through locums, investments, or business ventures.

If you’re ready to stop working on someone else’s terms and start taking control of your career and income, hit play. You don’t want to miss this one!
