Family Practitioner/General Practitioner

Role and Facility Information

Greenwood Medical Clinic in Greenwood & Boundary Hospital in Grand Forks is seeking a rural family physician to join a shared practice with two other young physicians.

The practice is flexible, accommodating 1-3 weekdays in-office (including virtual consults) and 3-6 monthly 24-hour (or 12-hour equivalent) ER shifts at the Boundary District Hospital, in addition to in-patient and long-term care work.

The current Greenwood Clinic physicians are looking for a partner for cross-coverage/vacation coverage of office and hospital work, ensuring you will never need to look for a locum again!

This high-income practice offers rural stipends and a flexible payment model (FFS, LFP model).

Physicians working in Greenwood can live in the Boundary/West Boundary area, with many homes and acreages for sale from Christina Lake to Rock Creek, and the largest center being Grand Forks.

Join the discussion for a community health center in the West Boundary and learn more about early-stage involvement opportunities in this exciting project.

Primary Care Network Opportunity

Kootenay Boundary (KB) is an early adopter of the Primary Care Network (PCN) approach, with teams of FPs, NPs, RNs, Allied Health, Aboriginal Health Coordinators and other clinical staff working together to increase patient attachment and improve patient care, access, and cultural safety in clinics across the region.

To date, 30+ PCN staff have been hired into the PCN and provide about 5,000 patient encounters per quarter, with more hires underway.

The KB PCN is based on a co-location model, building teams within existing primary care clinics, fostering a learning culture through the KB PCN Learning Lab, linking all PCN partners, encouraging innovation, collective learning, and the spreading of successes.

Community

Step back in time and visit an era of early Canadian charm. A thriving mining town in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Greenwood is still a thriving city today.

The history draws many people to Greenwood, with more than 60 heritage buildings that paint the landscape, each with its own story.

With abundant lakes, rivers, and parks, Greenwood offers fun year-round activities and fascinating Japanese history to explore in the fantastic Museum.

The Boundary country is a thriving rural region with outstanding opportunities for world-class outdoor recreation and adventures, cycling, skiing, and camping, as well as a thriving restaurant and retail sector.
