Locum Tenens: Latin for ‘to hold place of’ as many people know. This is the industry of temporary physicians & midlevel provider staffing for hospitals and freestanding emergency rooms until full-time staff can be hired.
As many people in healthcare know, there was an old saying in medicine that ‘only doctors that HAVE to do Locum Tenens, do Locum Tenens’. This was based on the perception that doctors who couldn’t hold long-term jobs
(for whatever reason) bounce from job-to-job as their only means
of employment.
during the 2010’s, this paradigm changed in a drastic way. Young, nimble , talented physicians DECIDED this was a subspecialty of its own; Traveling Physician is a title that the founders , and all of the Atlas Physicians are extremely proud of. A traveling physician says “I do Locum Tenens
because I love Traveling, not because nobody will hire me”. In fact,
there are many pay, lifestyle, and tax benefits to doing so.
