Job description

Position Summary

The Central Interior Rural Division is seeking a part-time Long Term Care Physician to provide direct comprehensive care to Long Term Care facility residents in Williams Lake. The position will provide full-scope health care services for LTC residents of multiple facilities with specialized and complex needs. This role is supported by a Long-Term Care call group, a Long-Term Care Medical Director and after-hours support from local physicians, as well as on-site medical staff including nurses and pharmacists within the LTC facilities.

The Central Interior Rural region has many physicians, nurse practitioners and medical staff who enjoy working in our Northern Communities of Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. These positions offer a balanced practice for those wanting to enjoy a rural lifestyle. Within a smaller network of physicians and other practitioners with great community need, there are endless opportunities for professional experience and growth which can be catered to your interests and goals. Pair that with the family-oriented, slower-paced lifestyle of the Cariboo, rich with cultural and outdoor activities and affordable housing, and you will be glad you came!

Currently our LTC group consists of 5 providers which cover all the Long Term Care patients in Williams Lake. We are expanding our opportunities to Family Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. We have 3 LTC facilities all within 5 minutes drive from each other. We currently use EMR Oscer for charting. LTC also comes with an incentive; the division will provide details to successful applicants. Payment options could be FFS or the longitudinal Family Physician payment model.

There are endless outdoor adventures, including mountain biking, hiking/snowshoeing, skiing/snowboarding, or kayaking/swimming in one of our many gorgeous lakes. The Cariboo offers cultural experiences with First Nations communities, arts, community theatre, food, local shopping, and farmer’s markets. A great place to raise a family, the Cariboo is a welcoming and beautiful place to live and work. Come join our team and apply today!

This position offers:

• Collaborative working relationship with other health care practitioners including self-employed physicians and nurse practitioners.
• A Primary Care Network (PCN) of team-based care resources for referral support and consultation, including Social Workers, a Respiratory Therapist, a Clinical Pharmacist, a Mental Health and Substance Use clinician, and more to come.
• A balanced weekday, daytime schedule.
• A call-group to support your LTC patients after hours.
• A specialized area of work with an inter-professional team of support.

If this position seems like a fit for you, we would love to hear from you. If you would like a closer look at our communities and services, we encourage you to book a site visit with us to come and see for yourself. Additionally, we would love to connect you with one of our current NPs to hear their perspective on working for us.
