DETAILS
Fruitvale - Beaver Valley Medical Clinic
Work where you play in this four-season lifestyle opportunity. You will be joining a multi-practitioner clinic that has provided care to the Beaver Valley region for over 40 years. Situated in the walkable downtown core of Fruitvale, BC, you will be practicing rural family medicine within a 15-minute drive of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (75 beds, 80,000 population) in Trail, BC, which offers comprehensive specialist services. You’ll be less than 40-minutes away from two world-class ski resorts, Red Mountain and Whitewater, and even closer to multiple golf courses, lakes, hiking and biking trails, and campsites. With upcoming retirements, we have openings for two family physicians to join our team. www.beavervalleymedical.ca
This opportunity allows you to customize your practice and experience professional growth. Consider part-time clinic and hospital-based care or explore various sub-specialties such as ER, Hospitalist, Long-term Care, Psychiatry, Obs, and Surgical Assist. Choose your preferred work schedule with flexible hours and 8-12 weeks of vacation and education leave annually. Take advantage of optional teaching opportunities with medical students and residents. There are no call requirements, allowing you to fully enjoy life outside of work.
You’ll be joining a collegial team of practitioners and knowledgeable, experienced staff. The clinic is in a modern, purpose-built building with 4 offices and attached exam rooms, 3 additional offices, a well-equipped minor surgery room, ECG equipment, and a staff lounge. The clinic uses MedAccess EMR.
Beaver Valley Medical Clinic is part of the KB Primary Care Network with nurses, a social worker, and an occupational therapist directly supporting the clinic and enabling team-based care. Practitioners also have access to a regional team of allied health providers including a pharmacist, registered dietician, and respiratory therapist.
Whatever compensation model you choose, you’ll be supported in its administration. Compensation options include new-to-practice salaried contract (NTP contract), fee for service, or Longitudinal Family Practice Model (LFP). Our NTP contract allows you to have guaranteed income whilst slowly building up a new practice to care for up to 800 patients over two years, along with the generous recruitment incentives listed below and up to $130,000 in debt repayment, encompassing private loans and lines of credit. With an upcoming retirement, there is also the opportunity to take over a full, well-managed panel, which ensures you receive full compensation from your start date.
Primary Care Network Opportunity
Kootenay Boundary (KB) is an early adopter of the Primary Care Network (PCN) approach, with teams of FPs, NPs, RNs, Allied Health, Aboriginal Health Coordinators and other clinical staff working together to increase patient attachment and improve patient care, access, and cultural safety in clinics across the region. To date, 30+ PCN staff have already been hired into the PCN and provide about 5,000 patient encounters per quarter, and more hires are underway. The KB PCN is based on a co-location model, building teams within existing primary care clinics. A learning culture approach, fostered through the KB PCN Learning Lab, links all PCN partners and encourages innovation, collective learning and spreading of successes.
COMMUNITY
Fruitvale, a close-knit community with room to roam.
A short drive south-east of Trail, Fruitvale is an unassuming small town that is big on community spirit. The kind of place you could buy a few acres, plant a large garden, some fruit trees, have a horse and some chickens, and heck, throw in a goat or two.
Fruitvale is known for its plentiful trout fishing and local Nitehawks hockey club, which has produced more than its share of NHL players.
Family fun days with snowshoe races and orienteering, a welcoming library and elementary school, public art and blooming communities project – Fruitvale is rural living at its very best. A place where everyone pitches in.
A place that feels just right.
