What are Locum Tenens Jobs?

Unlike temp jobs, locum tenens jobs run for a pre-determined period of time, but many locum tenens jobs include an option for extension.
Locum medical providers hold all the same qualifications as their perm counterparts, and often choose locum work for higher pay and increased flexibility.
