Company Overview
AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. is the largest healthcare staffing company in the United States. As a leader in travel nurse and allied staffing services, locum tenens (temporary physician staffing) and physician permanent placement services, we recruit physicians, nurses and allied healthcare professionals nationally and internationally and place them on assignments of variable lengths and in permanent positions at acute-care hospitals, physician practice groups and other healthcare settings, including rehabilitation centers, radiology imaging facilities, dialysis clinics and pharmacies throughout the United States.
The U. S. temporary healthcare staffing industry revenues are expected to grow by 5% in 2008 to $11.9 billion according to growth estimates supplied by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) in June 2008. Industry revenue estimates for the markets in which we provide temporary healthcare staffing services were estimated to be $2.5 billion for travel nursing, $1.9 billion for locum tenens and $3.4 billion for allied healthcare. The remainder of the industry revenue estimate was attributable to per diem nurse staffing, which is a market in which we do not participate.
