Role and Facility Information
I would love to find someone to work the full 5 week block, but would be willing to consider partial coverage.
We have 2 physicians working at the same for 5 week blocks. One physician will work only in the clinic M-F 9-5 for a week with 30 minute appointments, while the other physician will cover the low flow ER (Mon- Sun, 8am - 8pm) and see one booked clinic patient an hour. Expect to see 6-10 ER patients a day who are mostly low acuity. It is uncommon to be called back after 6pm. ER closes at 8pm. The physicians will then swap, the ER physician will do a week of clinic (no on call) and the clinic physician will run the ER for a week. This rotates back and forth until the 5 week block is up.
It's a lovely place to work, very laid back, well supported, friendly and set on Slocan Lake.
