If this is your first time pursuing a locum position, you may be wondering: What is locum tenens? Locum tenens means “to hold the place” in Latin. Locum tenens positions in healthcare serve as short- or long-term clinical providers for hospitals and outpatient centers where a permanent full-time hire is not available.
Many anesthesia clinicians seeking locum roles desire greater personal and professional freedom. Instead of fixed schedules and long-term contracts, locum clinicians choose when and where they work. This flexibility creates opportunities for greater work-life balance, travel, and time for other pursuits.
