locum tenens. A Latin phrase meaning place-holding, used to mean a person who acts as a temporary substitute for someone else, especially a physician.
Many locum tenens positions can become permanent, allowing the provider to try it on without making a commitment unless there is the right fit. More medical facilities are turning to locum tenens as an option to fill an immediate need or secure emergency coverage so that patient care is not compromised. Facilities may also use locum tenens when staff physicians or CRNAs are on an extended leave of absence.
