Weekend Moonlighting/Locums: Support Military Medical Readiness in Kansas
Leidos QTC is currently seeking to panel a select group of Kansas-licensed Physicians (MD/DO) to support the Department of Defense’s Reserve Health Readiness Program (RHRP-3).
We are looking for physicians to provide weekend PRN medical coverage for military reserve units (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and National Guard) at Group Events across the state. The scope of work involves conducting standard Physical Health Assessments (PHAs) to ensure our service members are medically cleared and deployable.
Opportunity Highlights:
- Compensation: Highly competitive $900 flat daily rate (1099 Independent Contractor).
- The Work: Low-stress, high-impact clinical work. No prescribing, critical care, or long-term patient management.
- Zero-Obligation Roster: Once you are pre-paneled, you simply pick up weekend events only when they fit your schedule. There are no minimum shift requirements and no obligation to accept any event.
- Travel: All flights, hotels, and rental cars are coordinated and paid for by Leidos QTC. Providers also receive a GSA per diem for meals.
- Malpractice: Comprehensive malpractice insurance coverage is available through QTC for $25/day (or you may use your own locums coverage).
This is an excellent, low-stress moonlighting opportunity for physicians looking to earn supplemental income while serving those who serve.

AMA National Advocacy Conference 2026
Advocacy at the National Level
Last week, leadership from the Kansas Medical Society and the Medical Society of Sedgwick County traveled to Washington, DC to advocate on behalf of Kansas physicians. Meetings were held with the Kansas congressional delegation, and each office was provided with comprehensive information outlining the challenges facing physicians and their patients across our state.
The discussions centered on Medicare payment reform, the administrative burden of prior authorization and its impact on patients’ timely access to care, Medicare Advantage and post-acute care accessibility, and other critical issues affecting the House of Medicine. These conversations ensured that the realities facing Kansas physicians were clearly communicated and thoughtfully considered.
The legislative process is often deliberate and measured. Fittingly, the word “Congress” derives from the Latin congressus, meaning “walking together” or “meeting.” Progress is rarely immediate, but the word itself implies that meaningful and lasting change requires persistence, collaboration, and sustained engagement.
Advocacy efforts will continue in the months and years ahead. The strength of our collective voice remains one of our most effective tools. Members are encouraged to stay engaged and involved as we work together to advance policies that support physicians and protect patients’ access to care across Kansas.
