About this position: East Kootenay Primary Care Network

Your work supports patients presenting with concerns such as sprains, strains, minor injuries, and movement related issues, helping to reduce unnecessary emergency department visits and improve access to timely care.
In this role, you collaborate closely with primary care providers and allied health colleagues to complete assessments, provide targeted interventions, and support self management and recovery. Physiotherapy services at the UPCC focus on improving function, promoting safe movement, and supporting patients across the lifespan within a fast paced, patient centred environment.
