If you don’t set up a practice of your own, there is a hope you will be interested in working as a locum in clinics on the Saanich Peninsula.

As an inpatient provider, you are well supported by our specialists and work in a highly effective interdisciplinary team. This team is characterized by strong engagement, comprehensive support and a robust CME program. You'll receive excellent onboarding upon your arrival, helping you integrate smoothly into both the team and the community. Mentorship opportunities are also available.
