Locum Tenens
What Is Locum Tenens?
Locum tenens comes from a Latin phrase that means “to hold the place of, to substitute for” and refers to the temporary placement of a provider in a hospital, clinic, private practice, or physician group to provide staffing assistance for short- or long-term needs. Generally, the healthcare facility pays the agency, and the agency, in turn, pays the provider as independent contractors. It’s a simple agreement that opens a world of opportunities for healthcare workers.
