Description

Family Physician – Arbutus Medical Clinic, Sechelt BC

A supportive, community-based practice on the beautiful Sunshine Coast

Enjoy Summer in a close-knit coastal community, surrounded by ocean views, world-class hiking and biking trails, and fresh air. Arbutus Medical Clinic is a physician-owned and operated clinic in Sechelt, BC. It’s the kind of place where you’re on first-name basis with your local café owner, colleagues have your back, and life outside the clinic is every bit as rewarding as your work inside it.

We’re looking for a Family Physician who values connection, collaboration, and quality of care to cover an established, friendly patient panel. Although six months cover is ideal, the duration can be negotiated for part-coverage.

Why You’ll Love Practising Here

Lifestyle and location: The Sunshine Coast offers year-round recreation — from mountain biking and hiking to kayaking and cross-country skiing. Enjoy quiet beaches, stunning ocean views, and a welcoming community, all just a short ferry ride from Vancouver.

Great earning potential: Build your panel quickly and efficiently with billing support to maximise earnings. We welcome and use systems to make the most of your time including a modern EMR and AI scribe.

Supportive team: Work alongside a small group of experienced family physicians, friendly and efficient MOAs, and a multidisciplinary team within the hospital.

Flexible opportunities: Focus your practice on what you enjoy most — clinic-based family medicine, emergency medicine, or in-patient care. Our community offers flexibility to shape your own niche.

Modern hospital nearby: Sechelt Hospital is fully equipped with specialists in Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Anaesthesia (provided by Family Practice Anaesthesiologists).

Friendly and cozy atmosphere: Arbutus Clinic is known for its warm, small-clinic feel. You’ll feel right at home taking sun breaks on the patio and picking fruit at lunchtime from the cherry and plum trees in the private garden.

Successful applicants will also be entitled to a share of the bonus LFP payments. Proportion can be negotiated but will be in line with Doctor's of BC recommendations for locum cover.
