What is
Locum-Tenens? Taken from the Latin "to hold the place of, to substitute for" locum-tenens means, in layman's terms, a temporary physician. In short, locum-tenens physicians contract with a staffing company to perform medical services for a healthcare organization for a specified length of time. Physicians are paid by the staffing firm itself who is then paid by the healthcare facility; the client. |
