I was wondering if anyone had any info on how to find moonlighting opportunities. I am currently finishing up my internship, but have a year off before starting my residency. I currently live in CA, thanks!

Technically it's not "moonlighting" if you aren't under a current residency contract. The big question, though is whether you have a license.
Locums. And be willing to do anything (and possibly go anywhere...look at locums company websites and see where the need is...get a license there).
It will be tough to find gigs as somebody with only 1 year of experience but not impossible.

Also depending on the gig you may need to budget time/money for getting ATLS/PALS certed (if you're not already) and shell out for an independent DEA. Your locums agency may provide malpractice, but you might need to purchase or extend your tail coverage.
I hope my program allows in-house moonlighting... I just feel that moonlighting outside of your program would be difficult, but obviously it's possible.
