Rewarding full-service practice in a multidisciplinary group - Grand Forks   

family practitioner

QUALIFICATIONS, EDUCATION AND SKILLS

This is your chance to join a strong, cohesive and supportive rural physician team, providing full service primary care in a well-appointed 4-physician office, as well as ER and long-term care at nearby Boundary Hospital. This particularly financially rewarding practice (with an income potential $500-$600k per year) is centrally located in Grand Forks, the largest community of the Boundary region.

Each physician in our clinic has their own MOA, office and two exam rooms, in addition to a treatment room, and a Residents’ exam room. We use the Profile EMR. Pre-natal care only (no deliveries in the community). Interest in geriatric care an asset. Multidisciplinary team includes a primary care Nurse and a Social Worker, as well as a foot care clinic.

Each physician covers their own inpatients (usually one to two patients), yet admissions are handled by the physician colleague in the ER.  We strongly believe that optimal care is achieved when continuity of care is preserved as much as possible, and this ideal is guiding our approach to Primary Care in the Boundary region. 

We generally take 10 to 14 weeks of holidays per year.  For locum coverage, we often rely on two experienced local Locums to cover the practices.

Grand Forks qualifies for the Rural Locums for BC program, meaning that you have access to a healthy locum coverage pool. Generous rural recruitment and retention incentives available, in addition to $20-30k/year premiums from the Rural Emergency Enhancement Fund (REEF). Opportunity to teach UBC Kootenay Boundary Family Medicine Program’s Residents. Thousands of dollars of training and CME are available through the RCME program and REAP. If your definition of an ideal practice is to work hard with ample autonomy and a great income, and to practicing good medicine within a system you have a high degree of influence over, then there's no other place you'll find an opportunity this good, in such a desirable location.  Get in touch and we'll arrange a visit so  that you can see for yourself why we love living and working here.
