The U.S. is facing a growing shortage of surgeons, even as demand for specialty care rises. At the center of this challenge is the system’s most essential resource: the surgeon.

DIN was founded by surgeons who recognized the need for a better practice model—one that values your time, supports flexibility, and protects against burnout.

Our platform uses AI to match you with hospitals seeking consistent, high-quality surgical coverage. These aren’t one-off gigs or generic locums assignments. They’re long-term partnerships built around your preferences. You choose where and when to work. We handle the coordination.

Whether you're looking to expand your geographic reach, serve underserved communities, or build a more sustainable schedule, DIN helps you practice on your terms—without compromising quality or purpose.
