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.
In this post, which originally appeared on KevinMD.com and BetterHealth, physician Val Jones provides a guide for doctors interested in locum tenens work. Iâve been traveling around the United States working as a locum tenens (in Latin, âplace holderâ â a more elegant name than âtempâ) physician. Weâve all heard of traveling nurses, but more and more physicians are also âliving la vida locums,â as it were.
