Role and Facility Information

Sorrento is the town centre of a rural community in the South Shuswap of British Columbia. The area is home to 10,000 residents, many of which are unattached to a physician, a population that doubles in the summer months when cottagers return to their lakeside retreats and tourists flock to the sunny shores of Shuswap Lake.

Sorrento is also the location of a community health centre providing primary care for this lakeside community. The Centre was established in 2013 when the community was successful in attracting a Nurse Practitioner. The Centre has expanded to 2 NP's, three well-equipped examination rooms, employs a full-time Medical Office Assistant and has room to expand.

The community health centre was established following the retirement of our family physician of 35 years. The rural community is a great place to raise a family or to retire.

We are seeking a family physician to augment the services we currently provide. Physicians are eligible for the benefits of the Rural Practice Subsidiary Agreement which provides rural incentives including funding opportunities for continuing medical education, a Rural GP Locum Program, a recruitment and retention bonus, and a rural premium to top up the College fee schedule.

Terms Compensation

Compensation Type: Fee-for-Service

Estimated Remuneration: $300 - 400k once established

Physician Overhead: Negotiable

Billing Split: Negotiable

Benefits and Incentives

Vacation Leave: Yes

May be eligible for additional remuneration in accordance with the Rural Subsidiary Agreement (RSA) including:

  • Retention Premium: 8.96%
  • Retention Flat Fee: $10,000

Other Benefits/Incentives: Rural education program benefits and Rural Locum program to allow physician to have subsidized relief for continuing medical education, vacation, and health needs. The Centre will provide non-monetary support to the Physician and family in their relocation to this beautiful area.
