They have a contract with VCH and get paid $207/hour (shadow billing), and there is no on call requirement (though we do share weekend call, and there's a separate pot of money for that so if that's something you wanted to do you could). The Family Physician would be happy to connect by phone to discuss with anyone interested to see if it would be a good fit; you could also come by the clinic for a tour and meet and greet.
