Family Physician - Obstetrics

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.
