Thank you for joining the Urban Locum Program, Greater Victoria Pilot.

Please note the following parameters before submitting your coverage request:

Accepting coverage requests up to March 31, 2026.

Phase 2: July 1, 2024-March 31, 2025 each physician is eligible to request up to a total of 10 days coverage.

Phase 3:
April 1, 2025-March 31, 2026 each physician is eligible to request up to a total of 10 days coverage.

  • 10 days coverage = 10 days x 8-hour day of service coverage or 20 x 4-hour day of coverage.
  • Eligible days can not be carried over from one phase to the next
  • Shifts can be 8.5-hour full day of service (8-hours of service with 30 min unpaid lunch) or 4-hour half day of service.
  • Indirect patient care is included in each shift
  • Scheduled days can be Monday-Friday (no weekends or statutory holidays)
  • We will do our best to match you with your preferred locum, however this is on a request basis only with no guarantee
  • Dates are to be requested 30 days in advance
  • Emergency requests (inside 30-days) will be considered on a case-by-case basis
  • Matches are not guaranteed (we will do our best) and may require flexibility from both host physician and locum to create a successful match
