Come locum and visit beautiful Manitoulin Island. “Ontario’s Island Retreat”! https://www.exploremanitoulin.com  

What we offer:  

- 10-, 14- or 24-hour ED shifts available, includes some inpatient responsibilities    

- Amazing accommodations for you and your family, if locum accommodation booked then alternative will be found

- Excellent support from a collegial group of local physicians  

The Little Current Medical Associates (LCMA), a team of ten rural family physicians, is inviting locum physicians to join us to provide coverage for the ED at Manitoulin Health Centre. We can build a locum experience that works for you depending on your preferences and skill set. Locums will have the opportunity to work in ED only (with a small amount of inpatient care) or a combination of primary care clinics and ED.   

We can provide a designated local physician mentor for each ED shift if support is initially needed. We also have a call-back system in place if a second physician is needed for challenging cases, sedation, etc.  

Remuneration  

- compensation through HFO Rural Family Medicine Locum Program and the vacancy locum program with travel and accommodation reimbursed, topped up to $250/hour. 

Locum Accommodation  

Bring your family or friends and stay in our modern, executive three-bedroom locum condo overlooking the La Cloche Mountains on the North Channel of Lake Huron. There is a well-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, high-speed internet, and four comfortable queen-sized beds. The condo is just a few minutes from the hospital, and you can take ED calls from the condo or stay in-house at the hospital in a well-equipped on-call suite.   

You will not be disappointed – please see the link for photos (sorry, no pets).
