For Locum Tenens
Locum tenens is derived from a Latin phrase meaning "to hold the place of." Most commonly referring to temporary physicians, locum tenens doctors contract with staffing agencies to perform medical services for a healthcare organization over a certain period of time. The physician works as an independent contractor paid through the staffing agency, which is in turn paid by the healthcare facility.
Quest Healthcare currently places physicians nationwide in the areas of Hospital Medicine, Pulmonology/Critical Care, Surgery, and Ob/Gyn.
There are many benefits to the locum tenens physician lifestyle. Locum tenens physicians often enjoy higher pay rates, more variety in medical cases and settings, and the flexibility to build their own schedules.
