The Island Health organization is seeking dedicated medical practitioners to join a dynamic team-based-care model. As a member of the Priority Response Team (PRT), you will work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to prevent hospital admissions and facilitate patients' discharges from hospital.

This initiative, under development by the Central Island Division of Family Practice, the Qualicum First Nation, the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation, and Island Health, aims to provide comprehensive primary care services to local communities.

As a Medical Practitioner on the PRT, your key responsibilities will include:

  • Assessing and treating acute care hospital referrals for urgent follow-up for at-risk housebound patients post-discharge
  • Screening and triaging patients referred for priority care
  • Offering clinical assessments, including examining patients, reviewing relevant patient medical records, and implementing support services when required
  • Diagnosing and forming treatment plans for acutely ill patients who would otherwise be admitted to the acute care setting

You will work in a collaborative environment with Registered Nurses (RNs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs), who will assist with initiating Home Support Services, assessing needs for urgent Long-Term Care placement, and providing after-hours rehab for clients discharged from hospital.

The successful candidate will enjoy a competitive salary package, which includes a base salary of approximately $250,000 per year, plus additional remuneration through the Rural Subsidy Agreement, including:

  • A Recruitment Incentive of up to $10,000
  • Relocation Costs Reimbursement – up to a maximum of $15,000
  • A Fee Premium of 4.62%
  • An Annual Flat Fee of $5,318.28
