Original job description
Role and Facility Information
This is a longstanding medical clinic known within the Burnaby community
We care for a broad and diverse population that includes individuals, families, children, working adults, newcomers and older patients. The clinic continues to experience strong demand for access to family medicine.
A physician joining us does not need to begin by establishing an entirely new clinic or creating every administrative process from the ground up.
Our Existing Practice Offers:
An established flow of patients
Opportunities to build long-term patient relationships
A well-known community location
Existing clinical and administrative systems
Experienced medical office assistants
Billing and onboarding support
TELUS Med Access electronic medical records
Flexible discussions regarding schedule and practice style
Why Work with Us?
Consistent Patient Demand
Burnaby is a large, growing and culturally diverse city within Metro Vancouver.
This medical clinic has served the community for more than three decades. Local residents know the clinic and regularly seek access to both ongoing and episodic primary care.
Depending on the physician’s preferred practice model, there may be opportunities to build a new longitudinal panel, expand a developing practice or provide care to patients seeking more immediate access.
Experienced Administrative Support
An effective clinic team can make a meaningful difference to a physician’s working day.
Our medical office assistants and administrative staff understand the practical requirements of community family medicine.
Support May Include:
Appointment scheduling
Patient registration
Incoming document management
Referral processing
Medical-record administration
MSP billing support
Clinic forms and correspondence
EMR orientation
Workflow and onboarding assistance
Our aim is to allow physicians to concentrate as much as possible on clinical care.
Flexible Practice Options
Physicians have different professional priorities, family commitments and career plans.
Some want to establish a large longitudinal practice. Others are looking for part-time work, locum shifts or a gradual transition into a permanent position.
At our clinic, practice arrangements are discussed individually. Depending on availability, eligibility and mutual agreement, options may include:
Full-time or part-time hours
Flexible clinic schedules
Locum or permanent work
A gradual start with increasing clinical time
Longitudinal or episodic family medicine
Fee-for-service or other eligible payment arrangements
Appropriate virtual-care components
A phased transition for physicians relocating to British Columbia
We want to understand the practice you are hoping to build rather than assuming that one model will suit every physician.
Clinic Onboarding and Transition Support
Once the physician’s eligibility and intended practice arrangement have been established, our team can assist with the clinic-specific aspects of beginning work.
Support May Include:
Reviewing possible schedules
Discussing compensation and overhead arrangements
Coordinating clinic onboarding
Introducing the physician to clinic staff
Setting up TELUS Med Access access and orientation
Explaining internal billing workflows
Assisting with applicable MSP administrative documents
Establishing appointment types and scheduling templates
Supporting patient-panel development
Helping the physician understand clinic processes and referral workflows
Physicians relocating to British Columbia will also be directed to the appropriate external resources for licensing, immigration and provincial recruitment support.
A Physician-Led Approach
Our medical clinic has been operated by physicians and clinic owners who understand the clinical and operational realities of community medicine.
We Value:
Professional independence
Respectful communication
Reliable administrative systems
Patient-centred care
Practical problem-solving
Flexibility where possible
Long-term relationships with physicians and patients
We are interested not only in filling available clinical hours, but in finding physicians who can see our clinic as a professional home.
