Locum Tenens

Locums tenens is translated from Latin as “one holding a place.” In healthcare today, locum tenens refers to a physician or advanced practitioner who fills in for another clinician while he or she is unavailable. Today, locum tenens is a flourishing practice alternative that offers numerous job opportunities to providers in every specialty, allowing them to expand their career while ensuring care for patients who might otherwise go without it. It also provides a solution for facilities that need to fill staffing gaps either on short notice or without making a long-term commitment.

Locum tenens offers countless benefits, including supplementing your income, setting your own schedule, freedom from administrative responsibilities, avoiding burnout, traveling to new places, keeping your skills sharp, test-driving new jobs, and much more. Additionally, locum tenens is an excellent practice alternative for all stages of your career, whether you are right of residency, easing into (or out of) retirement, or somewhere in between.
