Urgently Seeking Locum Physicians in Manitouwadge

Manitouwadge is Urgently Seeking Locums!

Due to an unplanned vacancy within the Manitouwadge Physicians Group, we are urgently seeking locums to support our local physician. We aim to identify locums interested in providing regular, recurring coverage to provide consistent care for the unattached patients. We are open to exploring scheduling flexibility and accommodation. Locums not interested in providing ER coverage can be accommodated with clinic-only coverage.

Join us in beautiful Manitouwadge! Our award winning, fully integrated hospital housing the Clinic, Family Health Team, ER, LTC, ALC, DI, Lab, and Physio all under one roof! Locums are fully supported by the Family Health Team, located right across the hall. Great learning opportunity for those who are interested in shadowing our physicians in the ER. We are a RNPGA community with the highest RIO score.

Coverage is a mix of primary care clinic, and on-call coverage for ER, LTC and in-patients. The ER sees approximately 5-10 patients per 24hrs and the on-call MD can sleep through most nights.

Clinic hours are Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, Thurs 10 am – 4pm (with an hour lunch break)

Clinic appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes each, approx. 12 appointments a day

*Upon request, the last 30 minutes of the day can be reserved for charting time.

Compensation is blended, clinic coverage is funded through the MOH Vacancy Locum Program, and on-call coverage is paid directly from the Manitouwadge Physicians Group. Locums providing ER coverage are also eligible for the Temporary Locum Program premium.  Travel and accommodation stipends available through MOH Vacancy Locum Program / Temporary Locum Program.

Locums providing 2 weeks of clinic & ER coverage can expect $21,127 + TLP premium and shadow billing earnings.
