Can a surg PA work with a locum tenens surgeon?

[CPPAC]

I’m a PA in general surgery and my SP will be soon be leaving for his annual two week medical missions trip. We will have a locums in to cover him for the duration he’s gone...

Would this locums need to sign as a sort of temp SP for me to scrub with him? Is there some kind of exception with locums that allows PAs to work without all the signatures?

The answer to your question is very likely dependent upon the state and hospital system in which you work.  You should check with both.
