The Carolinas Association of Provider Services (CAPS) is a regional professional association of physician and advanced provider recruitment leaders in the Southeastern United States, dedicated to advancing best practices in healthcare hiring, retention, and workforce development while fostering collaboration among hospital and practice recruiters across North Carolina, South Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Southern Virginia. CAPS plays a valuable role for locum tenens physicians and temporary physician staffing partners by offering education, networking opportunities, and innovative strategies that help address provider shortages and strengthen healthcare workforce solutions. In 2026, CAPS will host its Annual Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, bringing together provider recruitment professionals and staffing stakeholders for insights on talent acquisition, retention techniques, workforce optimization, and partnerships with locum tenens providers, making it a key gathering for those looking to expand their temporary physician staffing knowledge and connections in the region.
