What is Locum Tenens?
Locum tenens work on a temporary basis, often occupying vacant positions until a full-time provider can be found. Locum tenens physicians and advanced practitioners are essential in ensuring coverage as the need for healthcare professionals grows in response to the projected shortage of over 100,000 doctors by 2030. With fewer students applying to medical school, locum tenens providers will continue to play a crucial part in bridging the gap in U.S. healthcare.
If you're looking for a work style that offers more work-life balance or an increase in income for those who already have a permanent position, consider locum tenens. This work style is also great for those who want to continue growing in their career while having a flexible schedule.
