Family Practitioner/General Practitioner
Health Match BC
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Kelowna, BC
Contract type: Full time
Role and Facility Information
We are looking for a long-term rotating locum for our clinic which is a general family practice plus maternity care consisting of 8 physicians, each working 0.5 FTE of in clinic and telehealth time (i.e. 4 full-time physician equivalents in clinic). Each physician works within a dyad, with the in-clinic schedule mirroring that of their practice partner. For the past 3 years we have had a “rotating locum” working with us who rotates between practices, covering each doctor for 1-2 weeks at a time (2.5 clinic days per week). Time off for the locum is worked into the schedule as needed. We are looking for a replacement for our long term locum who has retired.
We do a substantial amount of the maternity care and hospital deliveries at Kelowna General Hospital. A high level of comfort with clinical prenatal visits is essential. Call coverage for intrapartum care in the hospital is not essential but an asset and regular call shift (approximately 1 in 8) would be available. In addition to our clinic and call coverage there are many other opportunities in the community and for example many of the physicians in the clinic work in a variety of capacities including as preceptors for UBC medical students and Family Practice Residents, doing surgical assisting, and as part of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). We have one full time RN working in the clinic.
The clinic is in a beautiful neighbourhood and conveniently located, which is immediately behind Kelowna General Hospital and directly across from Strathcona park and beach. There are a total of 10 exam rooms, large reception, a common physician office space, kitchen/lunch room, and medical processing/autoclave area. The building is newly constructed in 2017 and has a lower level storage room for secure bicycle storage and shower room. Clinic hours are Monday - Friday 9-4pm of booked appointments, option to book until 5pm some days. There is the locally owned Abbott Street Cafe on the main level and a pharmacy.
