Finding a Locum Assignment
Locum assignments are arranged directly between locum physicians and eligible communities.
Physicians can search RFMLP locum opportunities on HFOJobs.
Before Starting a Locum Assignment
Make sure you:
- Receive pre-approval from RFMLP (contract issued) to ensure you are eligible for funding;
- Confirm RFMLP locum dates and other arrangements such as on-call requirements and billing splits with the rural physician community;
- Arrange your own hospital privileges when providing hospital coverage;
- Review the Expense Claim Form and Guidelines (PDF), and then make your own arrangements regarding travel and accommodation.
To ensure full reimbursement, physicians should review the travel and reimbursement parameters outlined in the below resources and the expense claim form, in advance making any travel arrangements.
New locum physicians are also required to download, complete and submit to RFMLP:
