Locum Tenens Jobs

Locum is the short phrase for locum tenens. The definition is a person who temporarily fulfills the professional duties of another person or professional. As an example, a locum physician is a physician who works in the place of the regularly scheduled physician when that physician is absent, or when a particular hospital or medical practice is short staffed because of illness, maternity, professional obligations and staff turn over. Professionals who take locum tenens jobs are still governed by the respective state regulatory bodies, despite the transient nature of the locum tenens assignment.

Locum tenens jobs allow for organizations, hospitals and medical practices to staff healthcare positions that are either temporarily unfilled or for positions that do not have the necessary funding to hire a permanent medical professional. A locum tenens job will often allow a medical professional to experience a wide range of working environments and fields which a permanent position probably would not allow for.
