Family Practitioner/General Practitioner

Role and Facility Information

Salmo (population 1,000) is a beautiful village located in the pristine Selkirk Mountains in the Salmo River Valley. Salmo's proximity to Castlegar and Nelson provides easy access to the conveniences of larger centres while preserving a comfortable, slower-paced way of life for local residents. Local parks, trails, and campgrounds make Salmo the perfect place to relax and explore. The Salmo River is a paradise for sport fishing, swimming, kayaking, and all types of boating.

The family-friendly Salmo Ski Hill is ideal for winter sports.

The Salmo Health and Wellness Centre provides integrated and targeted primary and community health care to achieve equitable outcomes for individuals who may not easily access the traditional health-care system. Our team-based, client focus promotes harm reduction as well as mental, physical, and social wellness. For example, you may have a visit with your family doctor, registered nurse, social worker, or another member of the health-care team.

The new physician will integrate into a team of two experienced providers within a well-established and highly collaborative interdisciplinary environment. The medical staff is both committed and actively engaged, whereas the support staff is marked by their dedication and consistent stability. As part of the Primary Care Networks initiative, the clinic has robust connections with surrounding hospitals and medical professionals. It serves a diverse patient population spanning all age groups and a wide range of medical conditions. Salmo is conveniently located near the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, as well as Nelson and Castlegar. Opportunities for part-time roles at local hospitals are available, including positions in the Emergency, Obstetrics, inpatient care, OR assist, or Long-term care, depending on the physician's interests. The clinic operates Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and is closed on weekends and statutory holidays. Coverage is arranged in consultation with colleagues, and participation in local hospital rotas is encouraged.

For those interested, Leadership Development Opportunities are available with Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program. The NAVIG8 Emerging Physician Leaders Program is a comprehensive leadership development program designed specifically for physicians to address the practical leadership knowledge, behaviors, and skills that high potential, emerging medical leaders require to step into leadership roles early in their careers.
