Virtual Primary Care Physician (remote role)

Teladoc Health Canada has exciting opportunities for Canadian licensed physicians across primary care, acute care, and many areas of specialty care, to join a rapidly growing Canadian team of virtual practitioners to help shape the future of healthcare from coast to coast.

Provinces across Canada are engaging in dialogue and asking for support as our health system faces an emergency and primary care crisis. Teladoc Health is increasingly being asked to support provincially funded care delivery and as such is further building up clinical teams across the country.

Serving over 9 million Canadians for more than 20 years, Teladoc Health is the world leader in virtual care, operating in 175 countries, founded with the vision to create a world where great healthcare is always within reach. We are dedicated to caring for Canadians and our virtual physicians provide healthcare in several service areas, from general telehealth services and expert medical services to mental health services.

Clinician engagement, clinical quality, patient safety and healthcare innovation are crucial pillars to our overall mission as we seek impactful and connected healthcare across the country.

The Opportunity:

Teladoc Health is increasingly partnering provincially to offer publicly funded services in an integrated manner, such as our recent work supporting primary and emergency care across Newfoundland and Labrador. In such settings, we are intent on delivering a first point of contact to comprehensive, coordinated and continuous patient care, helping provinces integrate and expand their virtual primary care & acute care visions.

Teladoc Health is growing rapidly across the country, we are expanding our services to include Urgent and Primary Care Centres (vUPCC) in British Columbia. We are looking to expand our current team of primary care physicians for our virtual programs as we scale our clinical impact further.

Urgent and primary care centres (UPCCs) provide access to same-day, urgent, non-emergency health care. UPCCs are an alternative to visiting the hospital for issues that don’t require emergency care. Working virtually at an UPCC offers a unique opportunity to practice in a collaborative team-based setting providing high quality care to communities across British Columbia without leaving your home.

Role and Responsibilities:

Provide comprehensive care services to a diverse patient population

Diagnose and treat patients triaged to the Teladoc Health team

Provide care as an integrated member of the team of physicians, nurses, and nurse practitioners to support the UPCC

Complete documentation, referrals, and other work in a timely manner to support positive patient experience

Participate in huddles and handover sessions at start and end of shifts, as needed

Collaborate closely with medical, nursing and management teams internally and externally

Qualifications:

Ideally +3 years of direct clinical experience as a Primary Care Physician (will consider +1 year of clinical experience in a similar setting)

Current and unrestricted registration as a Physician in Canada (in good standing) - Must be registered with CPSBC, and have a CCFP designation

Experience and demonstrated success working with diverse clinical care team members

Experience working in the digital health sector preferred

Must be currently residing in BC province

A desire to evolve the landscape of future healthcare – Teladoc Health’s culture values quality, innovation & accessibility!

History of strong clinical performance

A desire to serve as an ambassador regarding the clinical importance of virtual care

Those who are passionate regarding the delivery of high-quality and safe medical care
