General Practitioner – Edmonton, Alberta

This is a rare opportunity to earn around CAD $500,000 (approx. £270,000) a year in a high-footfall clinic where walk-in demand builds your patient panel for you. With two vacancies to fill, it is an ideal move for an experienced GP, or a GP couple, ready to take the step into Canadian family practice.

The Practice

• Based inside a busy national supermarket with high daily footfall, bringing a steady stream of patients from young adults to seniors, across a broad mix of backgrounds.
• A walk-in and family practice model: walk-in volume builds your panel over three to six months, before moving towards appointment-based family medicine.
• Flexible appointment lengths of 10, 20 or 30 minutes, matched to the complexity of each visit.
• On-site pharmacy, with laboratory and pathology services nearby and specialist referral pathways through the local primary care network.
• An owner who is actively expanding, with new locations planned north and south of Edmonton.

Benefits

• Earning potential of around CAD $500,000 (approx. £270,000) a year full-time, seeing 35-40 patients a day across a blend of appointment lengths.
• 70/30 FFS fee split, with an enhanced 75/25 offered to the first GP to join.
• LMIA visa support, with the clinic’s own immigration consultant guiding you through the process.
• Nursing and clinical support from the primary care network once your panel reaches 800-900 patients.
• Medical and dental group insurance, with premiums shared 50/50 with the clinic.
• Family-friendly scheduling – school runs and personal commitments accommodated within a full-time week.
• Two vacancies – ideal for a GP couple relocating together.
• Fast process – interviews within the same week, with a contract ready to go if successful.
• An established administrative team already in place, so you can focus on clinical work.
• Flexible contract terms, including a two-year option for one of the two positions.
