The Little Current Medical Associates (LCMA), is always looking to invite locum physicians to provide coverage for the clinic, ER (10/14 or 24 hr), and/or hospital. We can build a locum experience that works for you depending on your skill set. The LCMA is a collegial group with a call-back system for ER for difficult cases.

Location: 

Little Current, on Manitoulin Island, is located only 1.5 hours from Sudbury and Health Sciences North, our main referral centre. Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater island in the world which can be assessed by the Chi-Cheemaun Ferry in the summer months and by road and the iconic swing bridge year-round. Favourite nearby attractions include Providence Bay (white sand beach complete with sand dunes, and plentiful milkweed for monarch butterflies), Bridal Veil Falls (swim at the base of this spectacular waterfall or watch the salmon run in late summer), among many others.
