A suggestion for international medical graduates (IMGs): due diligence is needed to confirm provincial licensing requirements and assessment standards.
Some Canadian residents prefer to look at more than a few areas and hospitals before picking their favorites by doing locums. Smart residents interested in an independent practice should first consider locums.
They offer residents the opportunity to learn from new experiences over a few weeks. Then, they can work to study more about these areas upon return to their residency curriculum. Frequently locum assignments are best planned during a resident's vacation time.
Though not always obtainable, a number of positions can offer weekend and overnight shifts. In contrast to one week locums, two week locums may need to straddle between two one month rotations . Three to four months is advised in a resident's planning schedule for provincial licensing requirements and such.
In addition to securing a proper match with a hospital or clinic, residents need to arrange for a provincial medical license, privileges, CMPA insurance, and billing number. The majority of provinces in Canada now offer restricted or defined licensure to senior Canadian residents to allow for moonlighting or short term locums.
In closing, the variety of locum and full-time positions in Canada are rightfully gaining the interest of numerous physicians and residents.
