Vancouver Coastal Health is looking for family physicians who are interested in providing primary care in a team based care environment that is enabled and supported by VCH. The Shellbridge Family Health Clinic will be located in Richmond East, adjacent to the new Urgent Care Center. Our communal goal is to attach, ensure access and provide comprehensive medical care to patients living in the local community using the principles of the patient medical home (PMH).

As a family physician on this team, you will be providing the full spectrum of primary care/family medicine including prevention, basic prenatal care, maternity, acute illness, palliative care, chronic disease, and mental health and substance use, over the lifetime of the patient. The primary care clinic will be a place of learning for all medical disciplines, and we will use data from our Profile Intrahealth EMR to support best practices.

Our ideal candidate is someone who loves the broad perspective of a family physician, who wants to teach and learn, who is ready to be part of a dynamic, innovative team.
