Practice Details

We are looking to welcome an additional GP to our clinic. Our team is flexible and can help you design the practice you want, whether it be full‑scope care, family practice with a special interest in geriatrics, pediatrics, or obstetrics. Obstetrics is not required, but an Emergency Medicine practice is required. We would expect a new physician to provide 3–4 Emergency shifts per month.

Our Emergency covers 7 day a week, 8 am–8 pm and shifts vary from 6–12 hrs. Trauma and after‑hour visits go directly to the regional hospital in Trail. Inpatient beds are located in Trail (25 min) or in Nelson (40 min). We also have two large long‑term care homes in Castlegar.

We have a newly established Primary Care Network team, including a full‑time Social Worker, a full‑time RN, and a 0.8 FTE Physiotherapist, providing strong team‑based care.

Teaching opportunities exist as the nearby Trail community hospital is a UBC teaching centre, allowing for medical student and family practice resident preceptorship.
