The operational strategy clinic owners use to protect revenue, maintain patient care, and keep their practice running—without interruption.
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.
