Positions Currently Available

GENERAL PRACTITIONERS (7)
Community expansion and the recent retirement of several family physicians have resulted in seven full-time vacancies for general practitioners in our area. Designated by the Ministry of Health as "under-serviced," solo and group practice opportunities with flexible full- and part-time hours are available immediately for GPs in Cobourg, Port Hope and the surrounding communities. The hospital is currently serviced by various GP and specialist call groups; vacations are scheduled equitably between members within the respective practices.

We are looking for Family Practitioners, who practice family medicine, including ER and Obstetrics.

We are designated as an under serviced area by the Ministry of Long Term Health and qualify for some incentives from the Ontario government.

This means:
  • The incentive grant program offers taxable incentive grants ranging between $3,000 and $10,000, per eligible year, to a maximum of $40,000 paid over a four-year period, to each physician who establishes a full-time practice in an area of the province designated as under serviced.
  • To be eligible for an incentive grant the UAP must approve the application before the applicant establishes his/her practice. The choice where the physician establishes a practice is his/hers and the applicant must meet all of the following requirements:
  1. Hold a valid certificate of registration to practice medicine from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario
  2. Hold a valid certificate From the College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada in a specialty (if applicable)
  3. Hold an OHIP billing number and billing privileges (if required)
  4. Hold Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status
  5. Have accepted a full-time practice opportunity in an eligible under serviced community.
  6. Hold hospital privileges in the community or, if there is no hospital in the community, in an adjacent community (as required by the community contact and approved by UAP)
  7. Have not previously received an incentive grant through this program.
Also, for established physicians, we may be able to assist with relocation or moving package, on an individualized, case by case basis.
