Role and Facility Information

The Gabriola Medical Clinic, located on Gabriola Island in the unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, is an award winning, community owned, physician operated clinic, looking for family doctors to join our multi-disciplinary team.

The Gabriola Medical Clinic is a quintessential medical home. The clinic houses family doctors (3 full time), a nurse practitioner (1 full time), a MHSU team, community home care nurses and visiting specialists.

During the transition to a full panel, the physician will work with patients of the clinic to support reduced waiting times and improve access for existing patients.

Each clinician provides same day/urgent/emergency care one clinic day per week, and in-clinic primary care 3 days per week. After hours urgent and emergency care is provided in partnership with BC Ambulance on a 1:4 call schedule.

The full-time contract is 1680 hours annually. The panel target is approximately 800 patients.

We can provide an excellent transition for a new to practice physician. A joining physician will be able work in a supportive, well-resourced clinic, operating under an excellent compensation model.
