What is Locum Tenens?
​
Locum tenens work involves physicians stepping into a temporary role, covering for colleagues who are on leave, addressing seasonal fluctuations, or filling in during recruitment processes. This type of arrangement benefits both healthcare facilities and the doctors themselves. Facilities can maintain uninterrupted services, and physicians can explore diverse work environments without the long-term commitment of permanent positions.
​

As the healthcare industry embraces technological innovation, telemedicine has emerged as a transformative force. Tele locum services combine the flexibility of locum tenens with the efficiency of virtual consultations, presenting a viable alternative to conventional in-person locum work. This evolution is driven by several factors:
​

Hospitals and senior living facilities can allocate resources more efficiently, directing funds towards enhancing patient care and overall facility improvements.
