Role & Responsibilities

Prince Rupert is actively looking for locums for our Unattached Inpatient Coverage program. This program covers unattached patients while they are admitted to the hospital and is covered a week at a time by a single physician. Patients are seen and worked up in the ER with admission orders written by the Emergency Physician. Patients are transferred to the unattached inpatient program the following morning and followed from that point by the program. Patient case load is generally 12-16 patients per day.

Dates are available and customizable through December 2024. Locums may tailor their experience in Prince Rupert by engaging in Emergency shifts or community office practice locums. Each assignment must be a minimum of 7 days. Travel, accommodation, and car rental will be covered.
