GP / Family Physician – Alberta – Inherit Existing Roster

Looking to build a thriving practice while enjoying long-term stability in one of Alberta’s fastest-growing communities? This is an excellent opportunity for physicians seeking supportive clinic culture, strong patient demand, and a family-friendly lifestyle just minutes from Edmonton. There’s also the chance to inherit a retiring physician’s roster.
This community offers the perfect balance of small-city charm and big-city convenience. With excellent schools, affordable living, abundant recreation, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s an ideal place to build both your career and your life.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Opportunity to inherit a retiring physician’s roster of about 2,000 patients, ready from day one
- 25% overhead in a very supportive clinic environment (includes billing services, admin support, and the chance for up to 3 clinical assistants)
- Possible billings of $40,000-63,000 CAD / month, and extended work hours optional (the retail location is open from 8AM – 10PM, daily)
- Relocation & arrival support package available to support initial settlement into Canada
- Flexible scheduling to support work-life balance
- Supportive, team-oriented clinic manager dedicated to your success
- Convenient, high traffic location with free parking and amenities nearby (ample opportunity for walk in or adding new patients to your roster)
- Up-to-date EMR and AI scribe
- Three-year contract with long-term stability
- The ideal candidates will provide comprehensive medical care to patients of all ages, emphasizing disease prevention and health promotion.
Why This Location Stands Out:
-
Housing & Cost of Living: Housing is notably more affordable, living costs run about 11 % lower than the Alberta average, making it substantially less expensive than Toronto’s real-estate market
-
Amenities: Offers a compelling blend of city-style conveniences shopping, healthcare access, and transit balanced by extensive recreation. Neighborhoods are thoughtfully planned, with walking trails connecting parks, schools, and community hubs
-
Safety: Crime rates are approximately 15 % lower than the provincial average, giving it a reassuring reputation for safety
-
Schools & Childcare: Excellent educational options, combined with city-led initiatives (like advocating for inclusive playgrounds) underscore commitment to family well-being and accessibility
-
Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights: Extensive lifestyle amenities include weather trails, expansive parks, and a top-tier recreation complex with pools, arenas, fields, and fitness spaces, ideal for a healthy, active life
-
Climate: While specific sunshine or temperature figures weren’t available, the design of outdoor amenities from all-weather trails to green spaces, suggests excellent year-round livability and enjoyment.
-
Multiculturality: The community is steadily diversifying, with 10% of residents born abroad. It is home to established Muslim and Christian communities, with Tagalog, Spanish, and Arabic among the most common non-official languages. Active multicultural festivals and strong newcomer support programs create an inclusive environment that welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.
-
City Dynamism: This is one of Alberta’s fastest-growing communities, with population increasing by roughly over 11 % growth in the past five years.
-
Unique Area Highlights: This location offers a rare combination of urban convenience and natural richness, from protected wetlands and a biodiverse fen reserve to rapidly growing infrastructure and community-oriented planning
Requirements
- Postgraduate training from Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, or USA
- Eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA)
