Family Practice (200-1368)

One full-time or two part-time physicians required as soon as possible to take over a well‑established family practice with a panel of approximately 1,500 in a bright, newly‑renovated building with low overhead. The practice shares a room for procedures, a pharmacy, and other doctors, specialists and services. The current physician is actively moving toward retirement and is happy to stay on during the transition time.

This is also an opportunity to form a group practice with co‑located physicians, and to work with a group of local physicians who cover each other during vacation times. The modern clinic, staffed by two experienced MAOs, uses MedAccess EMR and is also looking to bring in a nurse to round out the team.

West Coast General Hospital is located 5 minutes away. There are options to participate in obstetrics, anesthesia, ER, hospitalist, long‑term care, palliative care and more, as well as having access to many allied services. Numerous opportunities exist to diversify your practice with the NITAOP program for visiting rural and remote communities such as Bamfield; doing private Transport Canada Medicals for aviation and marine medicine; immigration medicals; infant circumcision procedures (can be done in our building); and vasectomies (at WCGH).
