Come and join a collegial and high functioning multidisciplinary team of 7 highly skilled FPs and 1 Midwife providing OB care to women in the Cowichan Region.

Our staff includes an RN and 2 part time MOA’s. Our practice is well supported by local OB / Gyn, Pediatricians and Anesthetists.

We provide antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care to women up to 6 weeks postpartum. Caseload is approximately deliveries per year shared by the group.

Approximately 10% of the local population is Indigenous and about 30% of our maternity patients are Indigenous. As such, our community would likely appeal to a physician who is interested in Indigenous health

Undergraduate and Postgraduate Medical Education is an important part of our practice with 4 x third year Integrated Clerkship (ICC) students per year as well as Indigenous Family Medicine residents and a new Family Medicine Residency program coming in .

Current NRP certification is required for this position. ALARM course or equivalent is recommended.

We have a shared on-call and clinic model, and recently have added midwife / lactation consultant to our multidisciplinary team with the capability to do home visits in the first week post partum.

Work in the CMC is easily combined with other FP work in the community : Longitudinal Family Medicine practice and locums, Indigenous Health, Hospital Inpatient coverage, etc.
