Reference Number

Ladysmith Urgent Care invites qualified physicians to explore rewarding work opportunities in our picturesque oceanside community, located just 25 minutes from Nanaimo and 20 minutes from Duncan. We offer short-term and long-term positions with immediate availability. This job opportunity provides rewarding small town Emergency/Urgent care work in a collegial setting.
The practitioner will work collaboratively with an inter-professional health care team to provide culturally safe urgent care to patients on-site at Ladysmith Urgent Care Centre. Physician must be comfortable with acute management of minor injuries and medical conditions, and familiar with procedures including cardioversion, intubation, casting.
Our competitive pay consists of MOCAP and REEF bonuses (together around $375 per 7.5-hour shift), in addition to MSP fee-for-service earnings. Rural Retention Program's 4.2% fee premium applies to all MSP billings. We can also offer a hassle-free billing option through utilization of our local billing clerk. Total remuneration typically exceeds $2,500 per 7.5-hour shift, depending on patient volume and procedures performed.
Embrace the flexibility of being "on-call" like a rural ER physician, coming in when needed and having the freedom to leave during quiet periods. Our prime location between Nanaimo and Duncan provides access to two sets of specialists and support from CDH and NRGH emergency rooms. We offer either 7.5 or 15-hour shifts with no overnight call.
Our modest facility boasts state-of-the-art resources, including a dedicated team of RNs, basic lab work, EKG/TNK thrombolysis, POCUS (Sonosite), CT scans, several chest tube options, X-ray/casting & finger-trap for fracture reductions, slit lamp, procedural sedation, cardioversion, and IV therapy and infusion capabilities. We also receive ambulances from the community.
Mandatory qualifications include current CCFP (EM preferred, but not required), Advanced Trauma Life Support certification or CARE course, current Advanced Cardiac Life Support Certification, must have done Paediatric Advanced Life Support course at least once. We offer trial shifts and buddy shifts to help you acclimate to the site.
