The Organization

BQWCHC opened in 2010 and is one of 75 community health centres in Ontario. We boast a range of services and initiatives designed to respond to the health needs of our clients and local community. With a health equity focus, we emphasize services to populations who face barriers to accessing health services.

The Community

Located on the 401 and rail line between Toronto and Ottawa, the Belleville & Quinte West area offers the best of both worlds – access to urban communities and services with the affordability and lifestyle benefits of a smaller community.

Outstanding services and 4-season recreation!

The Opportunity

As part of an inter-disciplinary team BQWCHC offers opportunities for physicians who are seeking a challenging, rewarding position providing comprehensive primary care services to clients at all ages and stages of the life cycle with an emphasis on those who are high risk and/or are experiencing barriers to accessing services. Our health equity focus brings together population health and the social determinants of health within an interdisciplinary primary health care model.

BQWCHC offers a salaried model for compensation. Distinct from a fee-for-service or capitation model, a salaried model mitigates the challenges of dealing with a shrinking schedule of benefits, managing overhead costs and salaries. Benefits include bi-weekly pay (with deductions made at the source). As a salaried model, physicians are not required to do billing, manage staff or maintain responsibility for overhead.

Physicians work as members of a team that includes nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, pharmacist, dentist, dietician, Certified Diabetes Educator/COPD nurse, housing worker, community resource worker and a host of other programs, groups and services to clients of BQWCHC and community members.

Scope of Work

• Comprehensive primary health care including sharing in after-hours on-call (weekly rotation with other staff physicians and nurse practitioners)
• Engagement in organizational initiatives on quality improvement, policy development, health equity issues and the development or modification of programs/service in respond to the needs of the community

Qualifications

• CCFP (active status)
