Locum Tenens Provider Overview
Are you interested in taking on a locum tenens assignment? Locum tenens is Latin for “holding the place," and in the healthcare industry this term refers to a physician who is filling in on a temporary basis. There are many reasons why some doctors choose to pursue locum tenens work.
Some physicians have just
completed their residencies, haven’t established a permanent practice and are
interested in trying something different before settling down. Other physicians want to
experience a variety of facilities and practice settings to see what fits them best.
In some cases, locum tenens work may be more profitable than running one’s own practice
and paying for overhead, staff and medical malpractice insurance. Doctors who are nearing
retirement but would like to continue working on a part time basis, appreciate the
flexibility afforded by locum tenens work.
