1. The Services
Critical is a physician locum tenens staffing platform. We help physicians discover locum assignments and help healthcare facilities find qualified providers.

Placement is subject to credentialing, verification, and facility requirements.
2. Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into binding contracts to use the Services. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and to keep that information up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. One account per user.
3. SMS Messaging Terms

If you are a physician or advanced practice provider, you represent and warrant that you hold all professional licenses, certifications, and credentials you list on your profile, that they are current and in good standing, and that you are legally authorized to practice in the locations where you seek placement. You are responsible for maintaining and renewing your credentials and for notifying Critical promptly of any changes to your licensing status.

8. No Guarantees
While we work diligently to match physicians with opportunities, we do not guarantee placement, specific compensation rates, or assignment duration. All rates shown are estimates and may vary based on credentials, location, specialty, and facility requirements.
