The Medical On-Call Availability Program (MOCAP) is a provincial program to provide responsive and sustainable on-call/availability rotation to provide emergency care that meets the standards. It was established by the 2001 Working Agreement between the Doctors of BC (formerly called British Columbia Medical Association) and the Government of British Columbia.

The program compensates for on-call physician services, and is provided through a contractual arrangement between the health authorities and physicians. All participating physicians are required to sign the MOCAP contract prior to being on-call. Eligibility and compensation for MOCAP contracts are established in the Physician Master Agreement.
