Family Physician – Arbutus Medical Clinic, Sechelt BC
A supportive, community-based practice on the beautiful Sunshine Coast
Enjoy Summer 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 to cover an established, friendly patient panel. Although six months cover is ideal, the duration can be negotiated for part-coverage.
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.
- Flexible opportunities: Focus your practice on what you enjoy most — clinic-based family medicine, emergency medicine, or in-patient care. Our community offers flexibility to shape your own niche.
- Modern hospital nearby: Sechelt Hospital is fully equipped with specialists in Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Anaesthesia (provided by Family Practice Anaesthesiologists).
- Friendly and cozy atmosphere: Arbutus Clinic is known for its warm, small-clinic feel. You’ll feel right at home taking sun breaks on the patio and picking fruit at lunchtime from the cherry and plum trees in the private garden.
