Terms of Use
Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using this website.
LocumsOntario is an online community marketplace and matching service designed to connect Locum Practitioners to Ontario Physicians and Nurse Practitioners for the purpose of caring for their patients during a temporary absence. LocumsOntario provides a platform for Clinicians and Recruiters to post Locum Ads to advertise their need for Locum help and allows Locum Practitioners to create Locum Preferences to search these Locum Ads. LocumsOntario also uses an algorithm to compare like parameters of Locum Ads and Locum Preferences to help find the best fit for both parties.
