Role and Facility Information

Community Details: Kamloops is a vibrant city of 100,000, at the northern extension of productive wine country in south central British Columbia. We sit in the middle of lakes, mountains, ski hills, and river systems. We enjoy biking, hiking, skiing, water sports, all right here in our backyard. Our community has an excellent educational system, organized sports, music and theatre. There are amenities not often found in smaller urban centres. University affiliations provide rejuvenation and an atmosphere to keep learning. Clinic Details: Our new UPCC located in the Northhills Mall on the North Shore of Kamloops features a large purpose-built design with many exam rooms and an abundance of free parking. The new North Shore UPCC sees patients who might normally go to a family doctor or nurse practitioner for their ailment, if an appointment had been available. Patients will typically be seen by a physician, but they may also be seen by a physiotherapist, a nurse, a social worker or other clinician, depending on the nature of their injury or illness. There is an increased number of team-based care available by referral at the Urgent Primary Care Centre for non-life threatening illnesses or injuries that need same-day care. With a hybrid walk-in and phone-in access model, patients will have choices and low-barrier access to care. The team provides care for: • Less serious injuries • Lacerations/wounds/skin conditions • Infections • Minor pediatric illness/injury • Women’s health • Culturally safe care Practice Details: Exciting family physician opportunity in Kamloops at the North Shore Urgent Primary Care Centre (UPCC)! As a Family Practice Physician, you will work with members of the care team at the Kamloops North Shore Urgent and Primary Care Clinic (UPCC). This state of the art clinic will provide urgent, and episodic care to the community of Kamloops. This is an excellent opportunity for physicians to work as part of an inter-professional team in a new, modern space. The UPCC team consists of family practitioners, nurse practitioners, registered nurse team lead, primary care registered nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, medical office assistants, and a dedicated operational manager. The team will focus on members of the general population with non-life threatening illnesses or injuries who need access to same-day care, including those who are unattached. Flexible four-hour shifts in a seven-day-per-week model will fit into all types of work and lifestyles. We invite you to bring your clinical expertise and passion for providing quality, compassionate care to our new clinic. Be part of a cohesive team of clinicians who each have their own unique role and scope in the provision of patient care. You’ll work together to ensure that the patient’s urgent needs are met in the most effective way possible. At our UPCC, you are invited to redefine what it means to be a dedicated physician. Our flexible model allows you to tailor your hours to complement your existing practice or personal commitments. Our UPCCs are not just a place of work; they are dynamic and supportive environments where professional growth is as much a priority as patient care. For those interested, Leadership Development Opportunities are available with Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program. The NAVIG8 Emerging Physician Leaders Program is a comprehensive leadership development program designed specifically for physicians to address the practical leadership knowledge, behaviours and skills that high potential, emerging medical leaders require to step into leadership roles early in their careers.
