What is a Locum Tenens physician? It is a doctor who temporarily fills in for the regular doctor in a medical practice instead of being a full time employee. This may happen when one of the doctors is off for vacation or is sick. Locum tenens doctors also help out during busy times when an extra doctor is needed, for example during flu season. This allows the medical practice to continue to provide care for all of their patients.

She completed her pediatrics residency at The Children’s Hospital of Alabama in Birmingham in 1989 and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
