Medical Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

Medical Disclaimer

The content provided by Locum Tenens Academy is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

No Physician-Patient Relationship

Use of this website, purchase of any book or program, or participation in any coaching or course does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and William A. Cooper, MD, MBA, or any other physician associated with Locum Tenens Academy. Dr. Cooper is a licensed cardiothoracic surgeon providing educational content about physician career development and the locum tenens practice model — not clinical care.

Not Clinical Guidance

Content on this site that references medical specialties, clinical scope of practice, procedural requirements, or healthcare systems is provided in the context of physician career and practice navigation — not as clinical guidance. Nothing here should be interpreted as directing, recommending, or advising on the clinical care of any patient.

Professional Decisions

Decisions about your medical career, licensure, credentialing, malpractice coverage, employment contracts, scope of practice, and professional conduct require consultation with qualified legal, financial, and medical professionals familiar with your specific circumstances. LTA content is intended to inform and educate — not to substitute for professional advice.

State Licensing Boards

Nothing on this site constitutes guidance on compliance with any specific state medical licensing board, hospital credentialing committee, or regulatory authority. Requirements vary by state and institution. Always consult your licensing board, credentialing officer, and legal counsel directly.
