A locum, or locum tenens, is a person who temporarily fulfills the duties of another; the term is especially used for physicians or clergy.[1] For example, a locum tenens physician is a physician who works in the place of the regular physician.
Locum tenens is a Latin phrase meaning "place holding", akin to the French lieutenant.
