Role and Facility Information

Now is the time to augment your practice with a long-term care (LTC) panel, providing challenging, diverse, and impactful work caring for the frail elderly. LTC panels are permanent, part-time placements for family physicians.

Why long-term care?

• You will become part of a supportive physician community.
• Each care home works closely with an interdisciplinary care team to provide holistic, resident-centered care.
• You have the opportunity to join the Long Term Care Initiative (LTCI), which includes paid mentorship, participation in a shared after-hours care system, and paid involvement in LTC-specific events and projects. Joining LTCI signifies a formal commitment to the care home and meeting five best practice expectations: regular proactive visits, on-site medication reviews, attendance at care conferences, involvement in 24/7 on-call, and thorough chart documentation.
• You can develop and transfer skills in caring for the frail elderly, applicable in community and hospital settings.
• This role offers schedule flexibility—work with care home leadership to set your panel size and availability.

Remuneration

LTC panels are remunerated via the LFP model or fee-for-service. LTCI participants also receive payments for:

• Participation in the after-hours care program: $1,000 for weekday shifts and $1,400 for weekends.
• Sessional payments for mentorship, events, and quality improvement activities.

Care Home Information

Little Mountain Place is a 116-bed long-term care home supported by four LTCI practitioners. As one practitioner leaves, an additional practitioner is needed. Practitioners must have, or be willing to obtain, Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) privileges and credentials. More info is available on their website.
