Family Physician – Arbutus Medical Clinic, Sechelt BC
A supportive, community-based practice on the beautiful Sunshine Coast
Build a fulfilling family practice in a close-knit coastal community, surrounded by ocean views, world-class hiking and biking trails, and fresh air. Arbutus Medical Clinic is a physician-owned and operated clinic in Sechelt, BC. It’s the kind of place where you’re on first-name basis with your local café owner, colleagues have your back, and life outside the clinic is every bit as rewarding as your work inside it.
We’re looking for a Family Physician who values connection, collaboration, and quality of care. Whether you’re new to Canada or seeking a slower pace with more balance, you’ll feel supported as you grow your panel and make this diverse community your home. Although we're targeting a start date of April 2026, accommodations can be made for earlier or later starts.
Why You’ll Love Practising Here
- Lifestyle and location: The Sunshine Coast offers year-round recreation — from mountain biking and hiking to kayaking and cross-country skiing. Enjoy quiet beaches, stunning ocean views, and a welcoming community, all just a short ferry ride from Vancouver.
- Great earning potential: Build your panel quickly and efficiently with billing support to maximise earnings. We welcome and use systems to make the most of your time including a modern EMR and AI scribe.
- Supportive team: Work alongside a small group of experienced family physicians, friendly and efficient MOAs, and a multidisciplinary team within the hospital.
