THE OPPORTUNITY

CASTLEGAR MEDICAL ASSOCIATES (IHA-9741)

Come live and work where others only vacation!

DETAILS

Looking to design a practice around your lifestyle and financial goals while enjoying rural life? The clinic offers flexible work options with a great work-life balance, and is seeking a full or part-time Family Practitioner to join their group of six multinational doctors, a practice nurse, PCN nurse/social worker and a highly organized group of friendly office staff.

CLINIC DETAILS

- Physicians and staff use the Profile EMR system by Intrahealth

- The clinic has an effective in-house biller to ensure we are not undervaluing ourselves.

- We are supported by a dedicated Clinic Manager

- We have in-house access to a PCN, RN, and Social Worker

- Current Physicians have a great dynamic in the clinic and welcome and support all new

colleagues.

- The practice has an established base of patients with room for growth.

Work in the local emergency room urgent care centre is mandatory and has approximately a one-in- ten rotation. On-call hours are 8AM to 8PM with no night call. Obstetric practice with intra-partum care is available (two of our clinic physicians deliver in the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail). No care for hospital in-patients is required but taking part in the local hospitalist rotation can be applied for.

If any of this interests you contact us for a site-visit and couple it with your next outdoor adventure; we ski, rock climb, mountain bike (with a Castlegar trail just named #1 in the world!), fly fish, kayak, or hike right out our back door!

 

COMMUNITY

Castlegar is located at the confluence of two great rivers – the Kootenay and the Columbia – which come together to form a fertile valley with a rich cultural heritage and a thriving artistic scene. This convergence results in a lifestyle that physicians in particular love: flexible practice options, access to the outdoors and a great place to raise your family. All reasons why Castlegar is becoming one of the most desirable places to live in the Kootenays.

‘Go with the flow' has a whole new meaning here, in the place where rivers shape both landscape and lifestyle. We have what you might call a streamlined approach to both work and life. No-nonsense. Level-headed. Sure, we can access full-on adventures in nearby Nelson and Rossland whenever we want, but sometimes we like our adventures on the quieter side. 

From Castlegar, it’s a quick drive to three alpine ski hills nearby, at Red Mountain, Whitewater or Salmo. The epic mountain bike trails in Rossland and Nelson are only thirty minutes away. But you’ll soon find plenty to keep you engaged right here. 

Enjoy strolls along the riverbanks, or high alpine treks on dozens of well-maintained hikes. Rock climbers – sport climbers, trad climbers and boulderers – have been coming here since the 1950s and as a result, the climbing community is well established. There are 70 rock climbs within city limits, 70 kilometers of snowmobiling trails in nearby Pass Creek, and 45 kilometers of packed and tracked trails for all levels at the nearby Paulson Cross Country Ski Trails.
