Job description

The Location and Practice:

Belleville has around 50,000 in immediate population. It has beautiful nature and sits near the Bay of Quinte. The town has lots of restaurants and is an affordable place to live. It is only 45 minutes drive from Kingston, a bigger town that hosts Queens university, so one can live in Kingston and commute if looking to live in a bigger town.

You will have the opportunity to join a FHO, which is a stable model of practising with good earning potential. Good collegial support from doctors who have been working in the area for many years. Brand new, modern clinic to work in. Lots of autonomy in designing your practice and determine your working hours. Working in a semi-rural setting offers good quality of life and also an affordable lifestyle, as big towns and cities tend to be expensive.

Number of registered patients:

You pick the size of your practice, ideally 800 patients at a minimum. Ministry of Health has now limited maximum size to 2200.

Are current GP`s fully booked in the area:

Yes, there is a huge demand for GPs that we cannot meet currently. The last family doctor to open an office ran out of roster forms within 2 hours of opening his office. Anyone joining will hit the ground running and have plenty of patients to see.

Current waiting time for patients:

Depends on how quickly you workor how big your practice is. The current practice of around 1460 patients, they typically book routine appointments 2 weeks in advance. The owners usually do 15 minute appointments and tend to run on time.

Patient numbers:

The target is 88 patient encounters weekly per doctor.

Working Hours:

You pick your working hours, but a minimum of 35/week is needed to work full time. Typical work day for family physicians here is between 8am and 6pm, most doctors start at 9am or 10am to 4-6pm. If you are in a FHO or FHT, evening sessions from 5-8 pm, weekdays and day time weekends are required.

Percentage of Income:

75% / 25% split, 75% of all billings goes to the Doctors.

Requirements

• Completed Family Medicine/General Practice residency in Australia, Ireland, UK, Canada or USA.


• Eligibility for licensure with CPSO and CFPC.


• New graduates welcome.


• Expected usual primary care procedural skills such as performing pap smears, administering routine immunizations, minor surgery procedures are an asset but not essential.
