Position Summary:
The board of directors for the South Whiteshell Medical Centre Inc. are looking for a new provider to provide primary care services to the patient population in Falcon Lake and surrounding communities. We are open to discussing different options for part time/full time work, whether it be year-round and/or in the summer months. We are looking for a provider to hold a patient panel and/or provide walk-in services on regularly scheduled days. The clinic space includes three exam rooms, a waiting room, a bathroom with a shower, and a small office area. This space is attached to the local fire hall. The funding model is fee for service. The physician would be responsible for billing MB Health for services provided, costs relating to medical supplies, and administrative responsibilities. However, there would be no overhead cost relating to the office space rental, hydro, cleaning, etc.

The Chamber of Commerce, the community club, community members, and Manitoba Parks are active in the community and support the initiatives of the clinic. The board of directors are registered as charity status with the Canada Revenue Agency and are able to give out tax receipts for donations that help to finance the clinic. There is a two-bedroom home in the Falcon townsite just a short walk to the Medical Centre available for rent to a new provider.

Falcon Lake is a lovely recreational community within the Whiteshell Provincial Park. The community has lots to offer for outdoor activities throughout the year. Including swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, and golfing that are all within walking distance of the Medical Centre. In the winter, there are groomed cross country ski trails and groomed snowmobile trails that can be accessed from the townsite to great adventures. In addition to cross country skiing options there is a small downhill ski hill and recreation centre, just a short drive from the Medical Centre.
