Rural
Relief
Program
Thinking of setting up a practice in rural Saskatchewan?
Working as a locum is an excellent opportunity to visit different clinics and communities throughout the province of Saskatchewan.
The Rural Relief Program offers relief support to help
rural physicians maintain work/life harmony.
The Rural Relief Program provides relief to rural physicians for periods of four to 14 days for practices in rural communities in which
there are fewer than five practising physicians.
Through the Rural Relief Program, the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) employs physicians who are available to travel
throughout rural Saskatchewan and replace the local physician on
a temporary basis.
Rural relief locums are hired on contract and enjoy terrific benefits
including competitive pay, flexible schedules and no overhead.
Incentives include:
•
A signing bonus for locums signing a one-year contract
•
A service bonus for locums who fulfill 200 service days in one
contract year
•
Paid travel days with mileage
•
Weeknight and weekend call stipends
•
Accommodations provided by the host physician
•
A cellphone stipend
•
Eligible for reimbursement of CMPA dues through the appropriate program at the SMA
•
Increased bonuses and benefits for second year locums
