or a person who substitutes temporarily for another. Originally used to provide physicians on a temporary basis but now includes many types of careers. 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. The temporary staffing industry is a $72 billion industry.
Our Locums
are independent contractors who wish to work as a locum-tenens
for a variety of reasons. Freedom, independence,
semi-retirement, seeking a locums-to-permanent position,
evaluating an area to live before relocating permanently,
evaluating the practice before making a full time commitment.
Employers hire locum-tenens instead of permanent employees for
the same reasons plus: illness coverage, vacations, conventions,
to see if the new person fits with the practice before permanent
hiring, short term liability coverage, and many other reasons.
We are a full service recruiting firm, a job board, and a job seekers placement service. We provide Medical career permanent positions and short-term Locum-Tenens temporary employment coverages and Locum-Tenens leading to permanent placement and Permanent placement without Locum-Tenens temporary coverage.
