Role and Facility Information

This is your chance to join an established group practice in Trail, BC. This opportunity has it all - and then some - for you to design the practice you want, steps from world-class outdoor recreation, yet with big city amenities.

Columbia Primary Care is a collegial group of six Primary Care Providers sharing a spacious clinic in downtown Trail. The practice offers a mix of patients, and the clinic providers support each other in taking up to 8 weeks off per year for holidays and CPD.

Our office offers a friendly and efficient environment with support from our experienced MOAs and Registered Nurse, and in-clinic access to Primary Care Network resources including Social Worker and Primary Care RN. There is additional access to regional PCN resources including a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Clinical Pharmacist, Respiratory Therapist, Registered Dietitian, and Aboriginal Health Coordinator. We currently use Med Access as our EMR and provide a mix of in-person and virtual care.

The clinic layout boasts a welcoming waiting room and a minor operating room (OR), and each Primary Care Provider has an office/exam room with a view of the Columbia River and a well-equipped second exam room. The clinic has GP subspecialty practices including Dermatology, Diabetes, and Pain Management. It is also a teaching practice for third year medical students and family practice residents. Further specialty support, available at the nearby Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, includes Anesthesia, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Internal Medicine, ICU, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Plastics, Urology, Pathology, and Ophthalmology.

Compensation types include the option to choose from the Fee-for-Service or the Longitudinal Family Physician payment model.
