Rural and Regional South East Locum

Job Description

The South East Area is seeking family physicians interested in full/part time locum opportunties in communities located within the South East Health Networks. The rural physician locum program provides family physician locum services to assist and sustain rural communities experiencing short and long term physician disruptions.

A full time rural locum agreement is based on 160 days of service which can include clinic, ER, on-call or a combination of all three. Locums are paid a daily rate based on years of service for each day of service provided including week days, weekends and statutory holidays.

Physicians are eligible for an initial signing bonus of $11,000 and an end bonus of $10,000 upon signing a 12 month full time contract. This bonus is only applicable to full time contracts and cannot be pro-rated for part time contracts.
