General Practitioner – Edmonton AB

Family Physician – Edmonton, Alberta

Job Summary

This is a rare opportunity to step straight into an established patient list in a family practice where demand is already waiting, as a departing physician hands over her patients in January. With a 70-80% FFS split and your LMIA costs covered by the practice, it is a strong, well-supported route into Canadian family medicine.

The Practice

• An established patient list is ready from day one, with patients actively waiting for a new doctor – no slow build, no advertising and no empty clinics while you settle in.
• Women’s health and paediatrics are priority areas, with treatment room access for dermatology, wound care and minor procedures.
• Part of the local PCN, with an in-clinic dietitian, behavioural health consultant, chronic disease nurse and respiratory therapist supporting your patients.
• A multilingual team serving a diverse community, with care offered in English, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Russian and Romanian.
• A personal, supportive culture led by hands-on partners, with notably low physician turnover across three Edmonton sites.

Benefits

• A 70-80% fee split on FFS billings, which the practice positions toward the higher end of Canadian standards.
• LMIA costs covered in full by the practice, smoothing your route to a Canadian work permit.
• CPSA registration support from Menlo Park at every stage of the process.
• Billing specialist and referral coordinator on staff, keeping admin off your desk so you can focus on patients.
• A full week of onboarding covering the clinic’s systems and Canadian billing.
• Flexible scheduling within full-time hours, with partners open to your preferred days.
• Saturday cover only around once a month, on a short morning session.
• Varied clinical work including occupational health, marine medicals and medical CBT for those who want it.
• Physician couples welcome – the practice is happy to consider dual-doctor households.
• Relocation support with housing and car rental available to discuss.
