Family Physician – Selkirk, Manitoba

This is a rare opportunity to join a growing practice owned by a UK-trained GP who will personally guide you through the move into Canadian practice. Patients are already being held for your arrival, with earning potential in line with or above C$200,000-450,000 gross (approx £110,000-£245,000) on an 80% FFS split.

The Practice

• Physician-owned family practice with walk-in, established in 2021 and led by a UK-trained GP who is a clinical tutor at the University of Manitoba and mentors the team personally.
• Patients already held for a new GP, plus steady walk-in flow and active promotion of your arrival to build your panel quickly.
• You set the pace with 15-minute standard appointments, adjustable anywhere from 7.5 to 30 minutes, plus phone consultations alongside face-to-face.
• Small, patient-focused team where cases are reviewed together, with extra admin support being recruited for referrals and paperwork.
• A loyal patient base, including a large Indigenous community, who stay with a family doctor they trust.

Benefits

• Earning potential in line with or above C$200,000-450,000 gross (approx £110,000-£245,000) full-time, rising after year one.
• Keep 80% of FFS billings on a flat 20% overhead.
• Procedural skills are open income – minor surgery and joint injections are yours to build, as the owner does not do procedures.
• Established women’s health and pre and post-natal demand from existing patients.
• Optional Saturday clinics for extra income on top of your weekday list.
• Flexible full-time hours around school runs and family, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
• Relocation allowance of up to C$15,000 (approx £8,000).
• LMIA visa sponsorship from an owner who has successfully completed the process before.
• Hands-on onboarding from a UK-trained GP on Canadian billing, referrals and patient enrolment.
• Teaching opportunities supervising clinical associates once approved by the CPSM.
