Plus 1 in Rural Family Medicine at the Award Winning Moose & Squirrel Clinic

Come to Sundre to the award winning Moose & Squirrel Medical clinic for the opportunity to work as a full scope family physician mentored by some of the top educators in rural medicine. It is a contract position, flexible days and term, with mentorship in clinic, hospital, ER as well as in billing and work/life balance.

Here is the opportunity to work as a family physician with full team support, no overhead AND no need to stress about the business side of practice. Enjoy the super power of family medicine by looking after a group of patients without feeling like you are getting married. This is what a +1 year should be - but open to any family physician who wants to learn how you really can have work life balance in Nature's playground.  

We are located 1 hr 15 from Calgary, 1 hr 45 from Canmore and nothing but nature’s playground to the West! So we want time to enjoy the surroundings we have - camping, hiking, climbing, kayaking, white water rafting, baseball, karate/kick boxing, tai kwon do, dance, hockey, figure skating, curling, ulitmate frisbee, pickle ball,,,, and on!!! And that is not just for the kids but rather adults too!!!!

Contact us if this appeals to you! It really is a +1 in Rural Medicine!! But open to family physicians of all lengths of practice!

We are a Patients Medical Home award winning clinic, with a multidisciplinary team that working together provides our patients with amazing care in a rural community. We are a Blended Capitation clinic which allows us the luxury of 20 minute appointments, 90 min lunch breaks and 3 days in clinic per week. On top we do 6-7 ER shift per month under FFS and a hospitalist rotation 1:4-1:6. We schedule clinic time so we can enjoy long weekends most of the time!

In addition to a formal backup physician in ER, you will also receive on site mentorship in ER from one of our physicians, until you are comfortable with the department - and then we continue to do so virtually. We do antenatal care in our maternity clinic but since Covid we have no intentional intra-partum care in our facility.

 The clinic is fully computerized with Accuro EMR, Medeo systems and even now using ambient Scribe with Mutuohealth - to keep us efficient and out on time!! We have a fully stocked procedural clinic and 2 Butterly u/s in office for use.
