Physician Recruitment

Are you interested in joining a full-service, multi-specialty clinic, located next to the local hospital in the beautiful Kawarthas? Our Family Health Organization (FHO) has on-site Family Health Team (FHT) resources and is also located near hospitals in Campbellford, Cobourg and Lindsay. We host a number of specialists and work with the Peterborough Regional Health Centre to provide convenient office amenities for a variety of practices.

We take care of all business administration including finance, human resources, EMR and other technical support to create a simple start-up process and to ensure that our physicians can focus on practicing medicine. We even provide relief reception and nursing when employees are absent so that a physician’s office is not disrupted.

Our upscale clinic has been promoting group practice and partnership opportunities for almost 100 years! We are uniquely situated to offer FHO positions to full-time and part-time family practice physicians. You will have options to mentor with a retiring physician, accept a partial or full roster transfer and/or build your own practice. We are also interested in new graduates who may be considering locum opportunities and other creative models of group practice.

Currently, we have 40 physicians. Our 52,000 square foot facility opened its doors at 26 Hospital Drive in January 2008, located directly next to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre. The Clinic allows easy interaction with other physicians and ready consultation with specialists. The Clinic is fully equipped with modern technology and our EMR is shared among all members of the Clinic for improved patient documentation and remote access over a secure network server.

In addition to our physician complement, our patients also benefit from our Clinic’s onsite diagnostic imaging department, medical laboratory, audiology, physiotherapy, orthotics and pharmacy for greater convenience and faster care.

For more information, please contact Andrea Cromie, Chief Administrative Officer, at administration@ptboclinic.com.
