Utilizing a Locum Tenens
Saturday, September 09, 2006
A Locum tenens (Latin: "holding the place", i.e., "Placeholder") is a person who is temporarily fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of a particular office in the absence of a duly elected or appointed holder of that office. Thus, a physician who must be absent from his or her duties may have a locum tenens available to care for his or her patients.
By utilizing the locum tenens staffing services of Healthcare Partners you can relieve staff physicians during busy seasons, vacations and maternity leave, replace physicians that are gone due to emergencies or even try out that new intern for consideration for permanent service.
