Locum Tenens Information for Physicians

Why choose a locum tenens temporary assignment?

The Latin phrase “locum tenens” literally translates to “place holder,” and today indicates temporary employment for physicians. Independently contracted physicians choose locum tenens careers for a variety of reasons.

• Recent graduates can “test drive” practice settings or locations by working locums
• Experienced physicians can focus on patient care without concerns for reimbursement or facility politics
• Flexible scheduling is available for physicians nearing retirement to work as much or as little as desired.
• Physicians can create a full time schedule to support your lifestyle as well as student loan repayments.
• Provides a reliable income stream based on the hours you work, not patient volume
• Less on-call duty compared to full-time employment
