Locum Coverage at RLMCMH
6-12-2023
If you're looking for a place to practice rural medicine, this is it! Red Lake is a remote town of ~4000 at the end of the highway in NW Ontario, famous primarily for gold, fishing, wildlife and water fun. The scenery is beautiful and the commute is just right. The locum would be a mix of clinic and ER, with some in-patient responsibilities. Our hospital is smallish with only 18 beds, but we have lab, x-ray/ultrasound, physio, chemotherapy and endoscopy (2 days/mo) services, as well as OTN. The ER has access to virtual back-up as well as a peer-to-peer program for support. The clinic is located right next door and we have access to Meditech and PACS to view x-rays etc. Our EMR is PS Suite.
Red Lake has a short connecting flight from either Winnipeg or Thunder Bay. If touring the beautiful region by car, Red Lake is about a 6 hour drive east of Winnipeg or 7 hour drive west of Thunder Bay. We have several accommodation options with all the amenities, including a lovely house on the lake.
Remuneration will include available top-ups; please contact rlma@redlakehospital.ca for complete compensation breakdown.
