Primary Care Clinics:
The Primary Care philosophy is practiced here which means that all doctors are full scope general practitioners who provide primary care in their clinics as well as in-patient care, and/or maternity and/or emergency services in the hospital. There are also opportunities to practice in other areas such as at the Opioid Agonist Therapy Clinic, Surgical Assists, and outreach to Indigenous communities to name a few.
