What Is Locum ChiroPRACTIC
The operational strategy clinic owners use to protect revenue, maintain patient care, and keep their practice running—without interruption.
The Defition
Locum tenens—Latin for "to hold the place of"—refers to a licensed healthcare provider who temporarily fills in at a clinic or practice when the primary provider is unavailable.
In chiropractic, a locum chiropractor is a fully licensed, independently contracted doctor of chiropractic who provides temporary coverage for clinics during vacations, medical leave, continuing education, or unexpected absences.
Locum coverage isn't about finding a substitute. It's about maintaining the standard of care your patients expect—and the revenue your practice depends on."
