Locums.ca
This web site was created by a group of new medical graduates looking for a comprehensive yet simple way to search for locum work. The site currently posts positions from across the country for family physicians and specialists looking for a broad range of work (locum, permanant, hospital, or walk-in).

Clinics or hospitals seeking physicians may advertise on the site for a fee.

In addition to job postings, the site provides tools for physicians and recruiters, and has a classifieds section for CME opportunities and other medicine-related topics

There is also a comprehensive “Locum Tips and Tools” page that contains useful forms and checklists as well as descriptors of useful billing codes and information about specific fees.
