Summerland Family Practice Clinic | Opening Summer 2027

Practice the medicine you love while we take care of the rest.

The new Summerland Family Practice Clinic, opening Summer 2027, is seeking Family Physicians interested in full-time, part-time, and practice-share opportunities within a modern, collaborative healthcare environment.

Join an established and growing team that currently includes five Family Physicians, one Nurse Practitioner, a Primary Care Network Social Worker, and a PCN Clinical Pharmacist, all working together to provide comprehensive, patient-centred care. Co-located with the new Summerland Sports Medicine Clinic, this purpose-built facility has been designed to support team-based care, physician wellness, and sustainable practice.

Whether you are looking to build a traditional longitudinal family practice, share a patient panel, reduce your hours while maintaining continuity of care, or develop a blended practice that includes special interests, we offer the flexibility to create the practice that works for you.

WHY JOIN US?

Focus on Patients, Not Practice Management

The clinic is operated in partnership with a physician-supported non-profit healthcare society that manages:
• Human Resources
• Recruitment and onboarding
• Payroll and financial administration
• Facility and lease management
• Information technology and clinic operations
• Quality improvement and administrative support

Our goal is simple: allow physicians to focus on providing exceptional patient care rather than running a business.

While the society manages the day-to-day operations, physicians remain active partners in clinic governance and strategic planning. Through a collaborative co-management model, physicians and administrators work together to shape services, growth, quality initiatives, and the future direction of the clinic.
