The New Canadians Health Centre is currently recruiting for a Family Physician for a total of 0.2- 0.4 FTE coverage. This could be from one or two providers. We are also looking for locum physicians for ad hoc coverage.

The New Canadians Health Centre provides multidisciplinary primary health care for government-assisted refugees. We are a team of family physicians, working within a community health centre model to support new Canadians.

There are opportunities for ongoing learning related to refugee health and opportunities for teaching medical students and residents.

Physicians will work 0.2-0.4 FTE with an equitable portion of on-call inclusive of weekends and statutory holidays. Locum physicians will be part of a pool of physicians who will be notified of available ad hoc shifts and will not participate in the on-call schedule.
