What is Locum Tenens?

The Latin phrase "locum tenens" means "placeholder" or "to take the place of." A locum tenens provider is a provider who works on a temporary basis in place of permanent providers who are not able to work for any number of reasons. A locum tenens provider may also work on a temporary basis for a period of time in which a hospital or group is "short-staffed" and needs additional support.

Statistics show we are currently seeing an increase in demand and usage of locum tenens physicians for primary care and hospital medicine, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, within hospitals, medical groups, and healthcare facilities nationwide.
