Ready for a change of pace from your typical practice? Or perhaps you're a new Family Physician/Rural Generalist seeking a supportive team? Have you always dreamt of practicing in the North? We are seeking permanent and locum Family Physicians with Skills in Low-Risk Obstetrics.
The Beaufort-Delta Region, home to the northern-most communities in the Northwest Territories, offers a unique experience above the tree line, renowned for wildlife sightings like polar bears, reindeer, muskoxen, and caribou. With its breathtaking landscape and popular activities such as dipping in the Arctic Ocean and exploring the unique pingos, this region promises unparalleled adventures. Most communities in the area are accessible by road, ensuring access to a full range of essential services.
As a Family Physician, you'll be based at the Inuvik Regional Hospital, the northernmost hospital with an operating room on the continent. This 48-bed facility, including long-term care, boasts a 14-bed acute care unit with two labor and delivery rooms. Family Physicians in Inuvik form part of a primary community care team, delivering services in seven or more community health centers through scheduled travel, telephone, and Telehealth consultation.
Your practice will encompass clinic, inpatient care, and emergency medicine in our rural hospital. While experience in low-risk obstetrical care is advantageous, it's not a prerequisite. Inuvik's full-time complement includes ESS Physicians, FP-Anesthetists, and General Practitioners. Additionally, we regularly host visiting specialists from Yellowknife and Edmonton, covering a wide array of specialties such as Obstetrics and Gynecology, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery, ENT, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and more.
Salaries start at $435,006 - $523,477 including benefits, plus bonuses of $25,000 - $100,000 (effective April 1, 2025). The position includes extended health and dental, a generous pension plan, outstanding leave benefits, relocation assistance, and professional development opportunities and education support.
Typically, these positions require CCFP certification.
