Ep. 70: How locums helped build a business with Dr. Moiz Qureshi, founder and CEO of Aitality

About this episode

Dr. Moiz Qureshi discusses how locum tenens work enabled him to pursue entrepreneurial goals while maintaining clinical practice.

Emergency medicine physician, entrepreneur, and disaster‑medicine–trained leader Dr. Moiz Qureshi joins us to share how he built a career that blends clinical practice, administrative leadership, and startup innovation. After years in academic and executive roles, Dr. Qureshi transitioned into full‑time locum tenens to gain the flexibility he needed to pursue his entrepreneurial goals. In this episode, he reflects on growing up as a second‑generation emergency physician, the mentors and experiences that shaped his training, and the moment he realized that the traditional W‑2 model no longer aligned with the life he wanted to build. Dr. Qureshi breaks down the realities of shifting into 1099 work — from tax considerations to schedule control — and how locums allowed him to stay clinically sharp while raising two young children and launching a company. Dr. Qureshi also shares how he built Aitality, an AI‑powered credentialing platform he founded to solve a major pain point in healthcare: the months‑long credentialing delays that keep physicians from practicing.
