Mississauga Halton

Since joining HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency in 2007, I have worked with each of the three Ontario Physician Locum Programs (OPLP).

I began as a member of the Emergency Department Coverage Demonstration Project (EDCDP). Here, I assisted in the short-term placement of participating emergency department physicians in eligible high-needs hospitals across Ontario. The EDCDP team was awarded the A.C.E. Award from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for its accomplishments.

In April 2008, I moved to the Rural Family Medicine Locum Program and learned about family physician recruitment needs in Ontario.  I worked with many community recruiters and family physicians. Next, I joined the Northern Specialist Locum Programs where I helped with specialist coverage in eligible communities across Northern Ontario.

If you have any questions about what I do or the many programs and services offered by HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
