Become a Locum Tenens Physician Today

What is Locum Tenens?

Locum tenens is a Latin term that means “to hold the place of, to substitute for,” but an easier way to describe locum tenens is temporary work. Locum tenens physicians support facilities, hospitals and clinics all over the nation to step in and cover shifts for as short as one day or for as long as one year. There are many reasons a physician may need their shift covered for some amount of time, whether it be vacations, vacancies or outbreaks due to the season. When you’re working as a locum tenens physician, you can help support facilities by providing an extra pair of hands in a challenging environment. The current medical industry is going through a physician shortage. Every day, thousands of locum tenens workers are contacted to help provide physician staffing services for hospitals, outpatient medical centers, government facilities, community health centers, correctional facilities and more.
