Kamloops, BC

You are a Family Physician seeking to diversify your experience while making a direct impact on people’s lives in your community. This part-time opportunity allows you to build your professional practice portfolio in mental health and addictions without the overhead costs of operating a specialty clinic. Work within an inter-professional team with full access to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to support comprehensive patient care. Your good care is someone’s future opportunity.

For the last sixteen years, I have practiced Correctional Medicine and I love it. There is never a dull moment; seeing interesting and complex medical patients in a safe environment. I have excellent nursing and administrative support, work part time, and really enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team. There is no overhead working in the jail and enjoy good remuneration. I would recommend working in Correctional Medicine to anyone with experience in mental health and addictions and who has a desire to make a difference in the lives of inmate-patients. ”
