Physician Recruitment

Are you interested in joining a full-service, multi-specialty clinic, located next to the local hospital in the beautiful Kawarthas? Our Family Health Organization (FHO) has on-site Family Health Team (FHT) resources and is also located near hospitals in Campbellford, Cobourg and Lindsay. We host a number of specialists and work with the Peterborough Regional Health Centre to provide convenient office amenities for a variety of practices.

We take care of all business administration including finance, human resources, EMR and other technical support to create a simple start-up process and to ensure that our physicians can focus on practicing medicine. We even provide relief reception and nursing when employees are absent so that a physician’s office is not disrupted.

Our upscale clinic has been promoting group practice and partnership opportunities for almost 100 years! We are uniquely situated to offer FHO positions to full-time and part-time family practice physicians. You will have options to mentor with a retiring physician, accept a partial or full roster transfer and/or build your own practice. We are also interested in new graduates who may be considering locum opportunities and other creative models of group practice.

Currently, we have 40 physicians. Our 52,000 square foot facility opened its doors at 26 Hospital Drive in January 2008, located directly next to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre. The Clinic allows easy interaction with other physicians and ready consultation with specialists. The Clinic is fully equipped with modern technology and our EMR is shared among all members of the Clinic for improved patient documentation and remote access over a secure network server.

In addition to our physician complement, our patients also benefit from our Clinic’s onsite diagnostic imaging department, medical laboratory, audiology, physiotherapy, orthotics and pharmacy for greater convenience and faster care.

The Clinic works in coordination with the Peterborough Family Health Team’s family practice recruitment program. Interested physicians can contact our CAO, Andrea Cromie directly (visit the Contact Us page).

Family physicians are remunerated as a Family Health Organization and also enjoy the benefits of working in a Family Health Team which includes nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, a dietician, a pharmacist, and mental health clinicians who are shared amongst all of the family physicians.

Arrangements for new physicians include no start-up costs, computers in each office and financial incentives. This is a turnkey operation with all services in place for the new physician. The Clinic is professionally managed and boasts an excellent overhead cost ratio.

Family practice call is completed in-house and is shared among 21 physicians. In addition, the readily available resources of the in-house specialists are a great asset to any family physician. The Clinic facility includes medical lab, diagnostic imaging, pharmacy and other health care providers. Medical lab and diagnostic imaging are integrated in the medical computer system. Hospital privileges are an option, they are not required.
