  • Preferred specializations include opiate agonist therapy, transgender healthcare, procedural skills (e.g., IUD insertions, prenatal care), emergency/urgent care, mental health, and sports medicine.
  • Experience with vulnerable populations (e.g., homeless individuals, refugees, remote outreach) is advantageous.
  • A strong commitment to advocating for and building relationships with senior citizens.
  • Understanding of social determinants of health affecting marginalized and underserved communities.
  • Proficiency in EMR systems and familiarity with Netcare is essential.
  • Current CPR certification is required upon commencement.

  • Knowledge of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action is beneficial.

Work Environment and Schedule:

  • This is a locum position.
  • Standard working hours are Monday to Friday.
  • The current ARP rate is competitive after overhead costs.
  • The clinic operates during regular business hours, with no evening or weekend shifts required.
  • Minimum appointment durations are set at 30 minutes, with the option for 60-minute appointments as necessary.
  • Our EMR system is transitioning to Telus' Collaborative Health Records (CHR), which will replace existing systems.
  • Administrative support is provided for patient panel management, appointment scheduling, confirmations, rooming, diagnostics, referrals, and additional services.
  • Access to in-house specialists, including but not limited to, Rapid Access Addictions Medicine (RAAM), Dermatology, Endocrinology, Internal/Occupational Medicine, OB-GYN, Pediatrics (pending), Psychiatry, and Physiatry.
