What are Locum Tenens Jobs?
Locum tenens jobs (AKA travel jobs) are contract roles designed to fill gaps in care at facilities and hospitals over a specific timeframe. These assignments can range from a week to well over a year, and often include opportunities for extension.
Locum and travel medical providers hold all the same qualifications as a permanent provider, and often choose locum work for higher pay and increased flexibility.
