Why Locum Tenens?
Locum tenens is a form of healthcare staffing that offers healthcare providers career growth, flexibility, the ability to travel, and new opportunities. Latin for “holding one’s place”, locum tenens providers fill gaps in coverage at facilities nationwide.
There is a critical shortage of healthcare providers in the United States — and this shortage is growing at an alarming rate. In many markets and areas of practice, the supply of doctors is not sufficient to meet patient needs.
