Summary
Family Physician with ER

Our clinic is ready to welcome a 4th full-time colleague to our multidisciplinary teaching clinic. This position includes ~6 twelve hour Emergency shifts each month. The existing 3 physicians in our clinic practice full-spectrum care but you are free to define your own practice. You will follow your own patients in hospital and residential care but you and your clinic colleagues will cover each other for vacation. You will be an independent and equal partner so that you have flexibility in scheduling, booking strategies, and treatments (such as what procedures you do), but decisions about the clinic are made collectively. We transitioned to MedAccess EMR in 2017, so there is a new computer in every room! Our clinic includes a nursing room and a procedure room.

There are many teaching opportunities, including supervising medical students and residents through the UBC Faculty of Medicine. Our multidisciplinary team includes a sports chiropractor, podiatrist, and psychiatric health nurse. In 2018, we will be adding a nurse practitioner and pharmacy consults. The clinic doctors and office manager have periodic staff meetings to address and troubleshoot concerns about patients or clinic operations as a team.

Actual overhead costs are split proportionally between the doctors. A new doctor will pay only 25% of billings (up to a maximum of their split portion) while establishing his or her practice. Fee for Service is augmented with rural incentives and ER stipends.

100 Mile House Hospital (OMH) is a 16-bed rural community hospital offering emergency, low-risk obstetrics, general medical, and outpatient ambulatory care services. The updated and recently renovated ER includes full 24/7 radiology and laboratory services. Access to CT scanning and ultrasound is an hour away. Other features include portable bed-side ultrasound, a well-equipped trauma bay, and an operating room. GP specialists are also available on-call including anesthetic and surgical back-up. Our local nursing and admin staff are indispensable in helping operate the hospital. Dedicated and highly skilled ER and generalist nurses work in a collaborative atmosphere.

Specialists are available in Williams Lake (1 hour drive), Kamloops (2 hour drive), and electronically within the hospital system. Williams Lake currently has 3 General Surgeons, 3 OB/GYNs, Psychiatry service, a General Internist and a Pediatrician. Kamloops is a tertiary center with most specialties covered.
