Opportunities for Family Physicians & Nurse Practitioners in Comox Valley

Replacement for Retiring Physician

After almost 25 years of practicing at both the Comox Medical Clinic and working in acute care at the Comox Valley Hospital its time to start looking at the next chapter.  During my years here I have a had the great pleasure of caring for many wonderful children, adults and their families. However, the time to pass that privilege on to someone new is coming.

If you have been looking for somewhere to start as a new graduate or as someone who is interested in a new adventure - the Comox Valley Medical Clinic in 2028 is the perfect place.  With plans to retire in the summer of 2028 I would love to connect with you.  You simply won’t find a better place - just ask any of our locums!

• SUPPORTIVE COLLEAGUES: Our clinic is built around the idea that we are our own best resource - so whether its a quick hallway consult or a billing question our doors are always open for each other. We value  and encourage the development of individual practice goals and special interests - general medicine, women’s health, pediatrics, oncology, cardiology, obstetrics, geriatrics, inpatient and Long Term Care work, as well as surgical OR assists - so wherever your interests lie you’ll find a supportive place here to pursue them.
• MINIMUM 3 MONTH VACATION PER YEAR: If you were every worried about getting time off when starting a new practice your worries are over! Taking over my practice comes with a guaranteed minimum of 12 weeks (3 months) of locum coverage/year for you personally over the first two years.  No obligation to take that much, but it sure is nice to know you can!  Want more? We can definitely work something out!
