What are Locum Tenens Jobs?
Locum tenens jobs are contract roles designed to fill gaps in care at healthcare facilities over a specific timeframe. These assignments can range from a week to well over a year. 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.
