Family Physician – Eastern Ontario – Midsized City

$100,000 Relocation Incentive (spread over 5 years) | Flexible Start Date | Supportive, Collegial Team

Are you seeking a practice where you can spend meaningful time with patients, enjoy true work–life balance, and feel valued by both your colleagues and the community? Our established family health organization (FHO) is offering a rare and outstanding opportunity.

The Opportunity

• Take over the patient panel of a retiring physician in a longstanding, community-supported clinic.
  
• Flexible scheduling, with no minimum days or patient volumes required.
  
• Current model: 1 patient every 30 minutes, 4 days per week, billing $35,000–$38,000/month. You are welcome to change the model however you’d prefer.
  
• 5-year contract, with full community support and appreciation.
  
• Practice in a collegial, collaborative group with excellent EMR and organized systems.

Compensation & Incentives

• $100,000 relocation incentive (community-funded, tied to 5-year contract, and paid out evenly over 5 years).
  
• FHO model within a Family Health Team (FHT).
  
• Fixed overheads based on the number of half-days worked.
  
• Physicians bill directly, and colleagues will provide guidance and support with billing.
  
• Option to develop special interests (procedures such as suturing, biopsies, joint injections, etc.).

Practice Environment & Support

• 2 exam rooms per physician.
  
• Office manager + 3 experienced MOAs (3–6 years with the clinic).
  
• FHT nurse onsite one day per week.
  
• Collegial group with senior physicians for mentorship.
  
• Work-from-home option one day per week (currently phone visits).

Call & After-Hours Coverage

• Shared urgent care coverage with other FHO physicians.
  
• Typically 1–4 shifts per month (weekday evenings 5–8pm or weekend blocks of 3–6 hours).

Why This Role Stands Out

For Physicians:

• Supportive, collegial, and genuinely enjoyable work environment.
  
• Community-built and community-appreciated clinic.
  
• Organized systems and modern EMR for smooth workflows.

For Patients:

• Local access to comprehensive primary care.
  
• Broad range of services, including procedures and after-hours care.
  
• Reliable, consistent, and compassionate care in a welcoming environment.

Location

• Housing & Cost of Living: Housing is significantly more affordable than major metropolitan centres, with average home prices and rental costs around 15–25% lower than Toronto, making it easier to settle in comfortably.

• Amenities: Residents enjoy excellent access to healthcare, modern shopping facilities, efficient public transit, and a well-serviced urban core, offering convenience without the congestion of larger cities.

• Safety: The area boasts lower-than-average crime rates, providing a secure and family-friendly environment for professionals relocating with loved ones.

• Schools & Childcare: High-quality schools, diverse educational programs, and accessible childcare options ensure a smooth transition for families and a nurturing environment for children.

• Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights: Surrounded by scenic parks, waterfront trails, and outdoor recreation opportunities, the city offers vibrant cultural life, a thriving local food scene, sports activities, and seasonal festivals that engage the whole community.

• Climate: Enjoy moderate seasonal variation with mild winters compared to the provincial average, making outdoor activities and daily living more comfortable year-round.

• Multiculturality: The community is highly diverse, with a notable immigrant population, established religious communities, regular multicultural events, and strong newcomer support programs that ease integration.

• City Dynamism: The city exhibits steady population growth, a robust local economy, and a stable job market, providing career opportunities for both relocating physicians and their family members.

• Unique Area Highlights: A rich historical heritage, charming neighborhoods, and access to natural landscapes create a high quality of life, combining urban convenience with a relaxed, community-oriented lifestyle.

Candidate Profile

• Licensed (or eligible for license) to practice Family Medicine in Ontario.
  
• Responsible, compassionate, and committed to genuine patient care.
  
• No gender or language preference — all candidates welcome.
