Our collegial and busy ED at Northumberland Hills Hospital is seeking an Emergency Room Physician locum to enhance our sustainability ahead of some planned family leaves in the department. Potential ongoing employment may be offered if there is mutual interest at the end of the locum.

As a locum unfamiliar with the site, you would typically only be offered shifts where you are the 2nd or 3rd ER physician on site

We are a medium-sized (close to 40,000 visits per year) ED with a robust community and multidisciplinary supports that is committed to providing high quality, compassionate care through our “People First” philosophy. We have several services that support our Emergency Department including on-site Intensivists, Hospitalists, Obstetricians, Anesthesiologists, General Surgeons, and Radiologists with on-site CT and MRI. With a current mixture of solo coverage as well as dual coverage hours, we are looking for colleagues with Emergency Medicine training or focus. We provide onboarding support and robust orientation to the department and our Epic EMR.

Current pay rates are 200-220/h + 37.5% shadow billing + shift based bonuses. We also compensate overtime hours at our daily rate of 200-210/h
