The lovely, bright, and modern clinic, recently renovated, offers two exam rooms, a large office, a kitchen, and a private washroom. The space is large enough for both physicians to work simultaneously if needed.
This practice uses Med Access as an EMR with up-to-date patient charts. Currently billing under Fee for Service but will transition to the new Longitudinal Family Practice Payment Model in August. The staff consists of a very experienced and highly resourceful Medical Office Assistant.
There is also the option to provide inpatient and long-term care to attached patients at the West Coast General Hospital and local care homes. If you are interested in Emergency Room work or low-risk obstetrics, this is also available.
The community offers the support of local surgeons, internists, pediatricians, urologists,
psychiatrists, gynecologists, and a geriatrician.
The Alberni Valley has a population of over 18000 and is centrally located on Vancouver Island. Just an hour’s drive to the beautiful beaches of Tofino and Ucluelet to the West and an hour East to Nanaimo, where a ferry or floatplane can get you to Vancouver in a heartbeat.
The valley is surrounded by beautiful mountains renowned for hiking, mountain biking, trail running, quadding, hunting and camping. The ocean inlet is ideal for fishing and windsurfing, and Sproat Lake was just voted the best lake in British Columbia. World-class skiing on Mt. Washington is only a short drive away! The temperate climate offers an array of year-round outdoor activities and many recreational opportunities.
Port Alberni is a family-friendly community with affordable housing and excellent public schools. There is an abundance of activities for children, including programs in music, dance, gymnastics, and all team sports: soccer, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, etc.
There are three local breweries, a distillery, and various outstanding restaurants to choose from. A state-of-the-art High School was opened a few years ago, and the town is expanding and developing positively.
Living and working in the Alberni Valley is a wonderful experience, and this available clinic is the perfect opportunity to do so.
