We are a friendly group of comprehensive-care FHG physicians in the Roncesvalles Queen West area looking for vacation coverage.

After the initial 2 weeks starting November, there are future opportunities for 2 to 4 week locums from January to April 2027.

We are also looking for someone to help 1 or 2 shifts a week with patient overflow if a good fit.

This physician-run practice is a collegial one with shared values and excellent cooperation.  

We have all refined our practices over time to ensure a relatively easy workday and low overall stress.  

No call, OB, ER or hospital work needed.  

Coverage needs are somewhat flexible in terms of days and hours but must be able to work at least one evening and/or Saturday per week. These shifts provide extra bonus income and are generally very relaxed.  

Up to six patients can easily be seen per hour (with average $250 to $300 billings) due to clinic efficiency and easy patient panel. There is very minimal paperwork or off-site charting (inbox is usually 15-30min per day max).  No unpaid phone calls, texts or emails expected from patients.  Messages are all screened through the front desk and you only have to interact with booked patients during your paid working hours.  We use Avaros, which is a version of Oscar EMR but better supported, with good remote access from home.  We also have Heidi AI scribe.

The office space is modern, airy, and physician-designed.  It has an efficient layout and is well-equipped for all types of procedures. All six exam rooms have computers with internet and printers.  The clinic is a corner suite with beautiful views of the lake from the shared doctors' office, onsite lab/triage room, and some exam rooms. There is also a private washroom and kitchenette area for your use.  We are located in the Sunnyside Medical Arts Building with pharmacy, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory with ECG on the ground floor.  It is located in the desirable Roncesvalles neighbourhood near High Park and Queen St West. Two TTC lines stop at the front door and there is free reserved underground parking for you.   We are only a couple blocks from St. Joseph's Health Centre and have a good working relationship with specialists in the area as well as downtown.

We have experienced MOAs/lab technicians who know our patients and specialists well.  They do all preparation for encounters including rooming, BP and measurements, preparing requisitions, drawing up vaccines, and setting up procedure trays. They can independently perform injections, venipuncture, urine dips, pregnancy tests, rapid strep tests, and Holter monitor set-ups. 

The overhead structure is based on a cost-sharing percentage split and OHIP payments are made directly to you, not the group.  We have a strict payment policy for missed appointments and uninsured services, with almost 100% patient compliance, which adds a substantial amount to your OHIP income.
