How MedsHousing.com Supports Physician Recruiters
Housing is often the biggest barrier to successful healthcare recruitment. MedsHousing.com was built to solve this exact problem by connecting incoming healthcare professionals with accommodations near training sites, rural placements, and hospitals. It is a one stop shopping rather than scouring all the various housing platforms available.
✅ Why Physician Recruiters Should Use MedsHousing:
Improve Recruitment Success Rates
Many placements are turned down because the candidate can't find housing—especially in rural or high-demand areas. MedsHousing gives you a ready-to-use tool to refer candidates to housing options, removing a common deal-breaker.
Example: A rural Ontario community had three accepted return-of-service medical graduates. Two almost backed out due to no housing. A MedsHousing search uncovered hidden furnished rentals from local landlords eager to support healthcare workers.
MedsHousing's "Housing For Healthcare" initiative is a strong message to encourage landlords to represent their communities and encourage healthcare providers to return.
Strengthen Community Ties
We attract local, private landlords who often want to support their local hospital or clinic. When physician recruiters refer landlords to MedsHousing, they get access to our platform and tenants that meet their goals (quiet, responsible, long-term learners and professionals).
Example: In Nova Scotia, local homeowners werr referred to MedsHousing. Now, housing for rotations, return-of-service, and locums is easier to secure—and the listings stay up to date and visible to future recruits.
Offer a Turnkey Housing Resource
Rather than scrambling to find housing on a case-by-case basis, recruiters can simply direct physicians, residents, and learners to a dedicated medical housing platform—one that's already partnered with CFMS, AFMC, NS Health, PRHC, MAHC, and more.
Serve Both Short- and Long-Term Placements
From one-month electives, locums to full-time hires, MedsHousing allows landlords to specify term lengths. This flexibility matches the real variety of placements physician recruiters coordinate.
Example: A community offering short-term contracts for international medical graduates was able to place them in furnished housing found on MedsHousing—helping candidates settle faster and feel more welcome.
