Excellent continuity of care in this clinic, due in part to close-knit community, and to the on-site presence of allied health professionals. Knowledgeable and experienced staff. Modern, purpose-built clinic with 4 offices with attached exam room and 2 other offices/exam rooms, as well as access to on-site phlebotomy service, ECG, and minor surgery room. Start date is negotiable. A new grad joined our group 3 years ago and we’re welcoming another new grad this fall. There is room for one or two more FPs to fill an upcoming retirement.

• Work part time or full time in clinic, with flexible hours and 6-8 weeks vacation.
• Live in the gardener’s paradise of Fruitvale, or in the nearby ski haven of Rossland.
• Join a collegial and supportive team and hit the ground running with a well-managed panel, and plenty of opportunity for growth.
• Design your own practice. All of us designed our own practices to include part-time clinic and hospital-based care or other subspecialties. If that’s what you’re envisioning for your practice mix, you’ll fit right in and we are excited to accommodate your interests, including ER, Hospitalist, Long-term Care, Psychiatry, Obs, Peds, and Surgical assist.
• Teach Med students and Residents. If teaching is your passion, you’ve come to the right place! We provide training for more Residents and Med students than any other clinic in the region through the UBC Southern Medical Program and UBC Family Medicine Residency Program. 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.
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.
