Family Practice (300-0948) (Permanent Family Practice)

The Comox Valley is a fantastic place to live, and practice family medicine. We have a congenial medical community with a wide range of specialists to support us. The recreational and lifestyle opportunities are superb. We have all the amenities and conveniences of a larger centre with the advantages of living in a smaller city.

This is an opportunity to take over an established part-time family practice (and build on the existing patient panel to turn it into a full-time practice if you wish). You would be joining seven other physicians in a busy full service primary care practice that is part of the Primary Care Network. We are a teaching practice affiliated with UBC. We have a full-time nurse and a dedicated team of MOA’s.

For this part-time position, the hours and days are flexible. Current days of work are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, for a total of 4 x 4 hour sessions per week. If more clinic time is desired this could be negotiated. This could become a full-time position with such optional extras such as long-term care patients, inpatient hospital call rota, and OR assists. Obstetric care is optional, and there could be an opportunity to join the Highland Maternity group.

I am open to creative arrangements such as one month on, one month off, or 3 months on, 3 months off, especially while a potential replacement decides if the position will suit them. I could be available for holiday coverage or maternity / paternity coverage.
