• Clinic Name: FYiDoctors Ladysmith

• Job Type: Full-time

FYiDoctors Ladysmith has a fantastic opportunity for an Optometrist to join our clinic.

We are renovating our space due to patient demand and adding an additional exam lane. Because of this renovation, we are excited to offer a full-time Monday through Friday OD practice opportunity.

We are flexible with scheduling, so if the incoming doctor prefers to work 2 or 3 days, we can accommodate that as well.

Our clinic in Ladysmith is part of a group of clinics which includes practices in Nanaimo and Parksville. The team across these 3 clinics shares support staff, and there is an opportunity for a schedule split across the group if desired.

The OD team in Ladysmith currently consists of 2 ODs. Our doctors practice full scope optometry with some specialty dry eye management equipment, serving a diverse patient base including elderly patients and young families.

Since there is no local ophthalmologist in Ladysmith, the practice manages a lot of patient disease.

The ODs are well supported by a talented pretesting and dispensing team, providing an excellent patient experience. Our Nanaimo ODs currently book on a 30-minute exam schedule, but we can be flexible for a new OD to accommodate their preferred scheduling.

Equipment includes: OCT, Optomap, Topographer, Visual Field (Type), Access to Topography and MacuMira, Osmolarity / InflammaDry testing, AB Max.

We also offer exciting incentives such as:

• A significant retention bonus / forgivable loan program of up to $50,000
• Relocation support
• Ownership opportunities within our group
• Professional development through coaching, mentorship, and campus engagement

If interested in practicing with our team in Nanaimo, please contact us for an informal discussion.
