GP / Family Physician – Kitchener, Ontario – Work-life balance with steady income

Clinic Overview

This clinic is a modern, well-established clinic offering high-quality family medicine in a welcoming and supportive environment. The clinic features nine consulting rooms, a large waiting area, and a fully equipped kitchen and staff space, creating a professional yet comfortable setting for both patients and physicians.

The practice operates under an FHO (Family Health Organization) model, with strong patient demand and a growing roster size of 1,800–2,000 patients per physician. Physicians are supported by an experienced administrative and clinical team, including 2.5 MOAs for every 2 physicians, a BSc-trained nurse, and an onsite clinic manager with over 15 years of experience in research and development.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Competitive Overhead: 20–25%
• Flexible Schedule: Work 4–4.5 days per week, seeing approximately 25–30 patients per day (patient complexity much lower than in the UK: 1 complex case out of 4)
  
• Good Billings for an FHO: Physicians can expect $40,000–$50,000 per month in billings for a full-time schedule.
• Strong Patient Flow: Steady patient demand supported by virtual consultations (phone and video) and accessible location with ample free parking and a pharmacy next door.
• Hybrid Options: Opportunity to work from home up to 2 days per week for virtual consultations.
• Special Interests Encouraged: Opportunities to develop expertise in women’s health, dermatology, and minor surgery.
• Modern Facilities: Access to 3 exam rooms per physician, onsite cardiology clinic, and advanced technologies including AI scribe and predictive analytics tools.
• Supportive Team: Experienced MOAs (former registered nurse, all college diploma-qualified) and a strong leadership team providing both operational and clinical support.
• Internationally Friendly: The clinic already employs two internationally trained physicians, fostering a globally minded environment.

Why This Location Stands Out

• Unique Area Highlights: You get a rare mix – a mid-sized city that delivers big-city amenities without the congestion, a sense of community, and access to nature.
• Housing & Cost of Living: You can get significantly more value for your money here – overall cost of living is estimated ~ 30-33 % lower than in Toronto, especially driven by housing.
• Amenities: You will benefit from a full spectrum of services – robust healthcare infrastructure, excellent shopping and cultural venues, and well-integrated public transit connecting the tri-city region.
• Schools & Childcare: The region offers many licensed child care and early learning programs, and participates in Ontario’s Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) to reduce fees and expand access.
• Transport / Airport Access: 1 h from Pearson Airport (UK flights) and The Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) is located just minutes from the city centres (roughly 20 minutes to Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo) and offers both domestic and international routes.
• Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights: This area offers a gratifying blend of urban convenience and natural escape – parks, trails, riverside walks, green space corridors, and year-round outdoor activities.
• Climate: You will experience a classic four-season climate – warm summers for outdoor enjoyment, and crisp winters without the extremity seen in northern Ontario.
• Multiculturality: Immigrants now constitute about 25.4 % of the population. This diversity translates into multicultural events, multiple faith communities, and a strong network of newcomer support programs and settlement services.

Requirements

• Family Physician Specialty Training from the UK, Canada, Ireland or USA.
