About

Built by clinicians. For clinicians.

APPadap exists because every existing locum platform was designed for someone other than the provider. We’re fixing that.

Our mission

Locum work, adapted for the way advanced practice providers actually live and work.

Locum tenens has quietly become one of the most important shifts in American healthcare. More than a third of physicians have done it. Most CRNAs, NPs, PAs, and travel RNs have done it — or are doing it now. The freedom is real. The frustrations are also real.

The freedom is being able to choose your assignments, your geography, and your time. The frustrations are tools that haven’t kept up — opaque rates, recruiter-friendly job boards, no honest peer feedback, no smart way to handle the 1099 multi-state tax tangle, no platform that puts the provider first.

APPadap is the platform we wish had existed when we did this work ourselves. Free for verified providers. Honest reviews, with editorial integrity baked in. Smart income and tax tools. Relocation simplified. Credentialing version-controlled. All in one place.

The founder

Who’s behind this.

Dr. Blaine Cameron, MD

Founder · Board-certified Anesthesiologist & Interventional Pain Physician

Dr. Cameron is a practicing physician owner of a multi-location pain management and anesthesia practice in Florida, with two decades of clinical experience and tens of thousands of patient encounters. He has served as an Associate Professor at FIU, holds MIT certifications in cell therapy and drug-and-device development, and is the founder of multiple healthcare technology and life sciences ventures.

He has hired locum providers, been a locum provider, and watched colleagues navigate every part of the lifecycle — from credentialing pain to multi-state tax confusion to the regret of taking an assignment that wasn’t what was advertised. APPadap is the platform that comes from that vantage point.

What we believe

Five operating principles.

i.

Providers come first.

Free for verified providers, forever. We make money from staffing partners and disclosed affiliate relationships — never from selling provider data, never from charging clinicians.

ii.

Editorial firewall is non-negotiable.

Commercial relationships do not influence reviews, rankings, or moderation. The agencies we earn from cannot pay to silence the providers who critique them.

iii.

Verified, but private.

Every reviewer is NPI-verified. No identities are exposed without consent. The model is borrowed from the most-trusted review platforms and adapted for clinicians.

iv.

Disclose the money.

If we have a commercial relationship, we say so — on the page, in plain language, every time. No hidden incentives. No sponsored content disguised as editorial.

v.

Ship the boring infrastructure.

Tax tracking. Credentialing. License renewals. Multi-state filings. The unsexy parts of locum work are exactly what providers need solved — so we’re solving them.

Show our work.

Editorial policy, affiliate disclosure, community guidelines, moderation rules — all public. If you can’t see how a thing works, it doesn’t belong on this platform.
