So, what exactly is Locum Tenens?
Simply put, Locum Tenens is the industry term for temporary or part-time physician assignments. It is a highly sought-after staffing solution which originated back in the 1970’s when the government approved a federal grant for the University of Utah to fund physician staffing services to rural clinics in underserved areas in the United States.
Today, over 90% of medical facilities use Locum Tenens to fill in for staff who have left, fill in while a permanent physician is located, or fill in for physicians who are on vacation or to attend continuing medical education.
