Family Medicine Opportunities in PEI

Full Time & Locum

Health PEI is seeking Family Medicine physicians for a variety of full-time and locum opportunities across Prince Edward Island. Return-in-Service grants, moving expense allowance, and locum support incentives are available.

Opportunities in urban and rural centers with flexible pay structures are available.

Why Work in PEI?

The inviting beaches, the delicious seafood, and of course, Anne of Green Gables. We’re proud of all of them - but there’s more to our island than what you see on postcards.

There are several bicycle rental shops on the Island, and with good reason: cycling is a great way to get around. The highest elevation is 142 meters (465 feet) above sea level, with much of the land rising and falling in gentle slopes. Add the Confederation Trail with its 435 kilometers (270 miles) of flat, rolled stone dust surface and you have a cyclists and hiker's dream. Or try some canoeing, kayaking, fishing.

Remuneration:

Physicians can choose a salary or fee-for-service payment modality. Information related to payment modalities as well as  benefits including paid vacation entitlements, CME funding, RRSP program, and more can be found in the Master Agreement.

Our Recruitment team would be happy to connect with you about remuneration options. Contact us directly at healthrecruiter@gov.pe.ca.

DEPARTMENT HEAD, DALHOUSIE FAMILY MEDICINE, FACULTY OF MEDICINE, DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA

 

The Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University is recruiting an academic leader for the Department of Family Medicine and its network of teaching sites throughout the Maritimes. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced and accomplished physician with proven leadership, vision, clinical and academic experiences to lead this dynamic department.

 

As the academic Head, the incumbent will be responsible for the administration and development of teaching and research programs in the Department and its affiliated teaching sites across the Maritimes.

 

The Department of Family Medicine at Dalhousie University takes a collaborative approach to the advancement of education, research and comprehensive clinical care to meet the needs of Maritime communities. It delivers a continuum of education programs to support the vision of comprehensive family medicine in these diverse communities. Its research and scholarly activities are focused on advancing primary care policy and practice. It is actively working to form partnerships with communities, health authorities, governments and other academic health organizations to advance family medicine education, research and clinical services that meet the health priorities of the Maritimes. With leadership and support from the Dean’s Office, the Department is leading a charter project to promote the visibility of and interest in Family Medicine as a career among Dalhousie medical students.

 

The Department’s current strategic plan is described at this link: DFM Strategic Plan

 

The Department’s academic programs are distributed in large and small communities across the three Maritime provinces. Medical students are placed in practices throughout the three provinces, with five longitudinal integrated clerkships. Its postgraduate academic leadership is focused in nine sites including Fredericton, Saint John and Moncton in New Brunswick; Prince Edward Island; and in the Annapolis Valley, South West, North Nova, Cape Breton and Halifax in Nova Scotia. The Department’s most recently established sites are North Nova based in Truro with learners distributed into Amherst, Truro and New Glasgow. A new teaching community site has been added to the Cape Breton program in Inverness and an additional residency position added in South West Nova.

 

The Department Head will be appointed for a five-year position, potentially renewable. A Continuing Appointment in the Department of Family Medicine will also be offered to the successful candidate.

 

The role of Head requires dynamic leadership, enthusiasm and vision in academic and clinical domains, together with management skills to influence education, research and service, and to align strategically and operationally across health systems in three provinces. The incumbent must be a strategic systems-level thinker with superior interpersonal skills to negotiate, nurture

and leverage opportunities that maximize productivity through collaboration, partnership and integration of academic and clinical practice.

 

To be considered for this role you are a consummate professional and embody the principles of accountability, transparency and fairness, and you have a proven track record of leadership success. The successful candidate will have an MD Degree, hold or be eligible for medical licensure in Nova Scotia and hold Certification in Family Medicine by the College of Family Physicians of Canada or its equivalent. Evidence of research productivity and experience working collaboratively with governments and health authorities are required.

The Nanton Medical Clinic is seeking a 0.6 FTE (3 days per week) (will consider 0.8 FTE if interest) part-time family physician to join their clinic under an Alternative Relationship Program (ARP), with no designated after hours call. Ideal for a physician wanting a rural community, relaxed atmosphere with ‘down to earth’ people. We are a one stop shop for local health care needs as the Nanton Community Health Centre houses the physicians’ clinic, Nurse Practitioners, Public Health, Home Care and Laboratory services. The pharmacy is next door as is a local physiotherapist and a block away is the Designated Supportive Living site. We also bring many specialists to the area including mental health, dietician, diabetic, respiratory and foot care to be involved in our patient care.

The physician will have a diverse panel including young families through to geriatric patients ranging in complexity which allows the physician to utilize a vast array of clinical expertise within their scope.

Benefits of working under an ARP:

• Better predictability and stability of physician revenue.

• Potential for more innovation in service delivery to attain:

- better continuity of care and more preventive care (e.g., smaller rural practices, intensive care units, pain management, underserved populations etc.),

- more practice efficiencies from better integrated care resulting from stable revenue (e.g., allied providers)

- greater scope to manage patient care, such as comprehensive examination of, and more effective service delivery for, patients with complex health needs.

• Enables better work-life balance, no evenings or weekends, paid a competitive hourly rate, not fee-for-service.

• Program and overhead support from AHS for practice expenses in the form of capital costs (e.g., premises) or variable costs (e.g., administrative support, IT, office supplies & medical supplies & equipment) • Potential for greater physician and patient satisfaction, with a comprehensive framework.

With a population of approximately 2,200 people, the community of Nanton can be found 40 minutes south of Calgary along Highway 2. Nanton is best known for its authentic lifestyle and a wide-range of local events focused on the community’s antique and culture scene with museums such as the Lancaster Air Museum. This unique southern Alberta community offers its residents a relaxed lifestyle in a great locale, allowing for spending time with family at home or enjoying one of the Town’s many recreational facilities. There are plenty of opportunities to become involved in the community through service clubs and local societies. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the natural settings in the nearby foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

With the Town’s close proximity to Calgary and located on the major north/south US/Canada highway corridor, Nanton supports a steady flow of tourism traffic. The downtown core is filled with boutique shops, and numerous cafes to explore. Nanton offers two schools for kindergarten through grade 12 and for those seeking post-secondary education, Calgary and Lethbridge offer a vast array of universities, colleges and trade schools. A local health clinic and excellent community health care network has allowed Nanton to be at the forefront of healthy living communities in southern Alberta.
