Job Description
The Wellness Wheel Medical Outreach Clinic is seeking family physicians with skills in obstetrics to join a unique practice based in Regina, SK. We work as an interdisciplinary team of physicians, registered nurses, and have access to a mental health counsellor. Further, this is a nurse-led model of care with daily patient care and case management from skilled Registered Nurses. Our RNs are trained in phlebotomy and offer blood collection services to patients of our practice.
Our permanent clinic is located in an underserved area of Regina, and we provide regular outreach clinics in collaboration with First Nation communities in Southeast Saskatchewan. Travel to the partner communities allows for in-person care delivery via day trips; there are no overnight trips. The physicians with obstetrical skills also provide intrapartum, post-partum, and newborn care to our patients at the Regina General Hospital. Our clinic operates with the Telus Med Access Electronic Medical Record.
This position is part-time and flexible. Remuneration is provided through a combination of fee-for-service billings and competitive daily stipends.
Job Qualifications

Ability to provide culturally safe care using a broad harm reduction model is required. Experience in addictions medicine and a willingness to provide opioid agonist therapy would be a strong asset.
The candidate will hold certification or be eligible for certification from the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). Successful applicants will be eligible for regular licensure from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) to practice in Saskatchewan.
In accordance with immigration requirements, preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada.
