Summerland Sports Medicine Clinic | Opening Summer 2027

Locum opportunity to see if providing sports medicine and primary care in the South Okanagan is for you.

The new Summerland Sports Medicine Clinic is seeking Family Physician locums with Sports Medicine training who are interested in a locum opportunity before deciding whether they would like to commit to a long-term position. Opening in Summer 2027, this purpose-built facility will be co-located with a family practice clinic, creating an integrated environment for comprehensive patient care.

We're expanding an established sports medicine service and looking to recruit 2-3 additional physicians who are excited to help shape a modern, collaborative model of care.

WHY JOIN US?

Brand-New Facility
• State-of-the-art clinic designed specifically for sports medicine and family practice
• Modern exam and procedure rooms
• Dedicated administrative and clinical support staff

Collaborative Physician Team

• Opportunity to build a practice tailored to your interests

Focus on Medicine, Not Management
The clinic is supported by a non-profit healthcare society that provides comprehensive administrative and operational services. From human resources and recruitment to finance and facility management, the society manages the business side of healthcare so physicians can focus on patient care.

At the same time, physicians remain actively involved in the governance and strategic direction of the clinic through a collaborative co-management approach. We believe the best healthcare organizations are built when physicians and administrators work together as partners.

This model offers:
• Reduced administrative burden
• Professional operational support
• Physician input into decision-making and clinic development
• Improved work-life balance
• A sustainable and physician-focused practice environment

• Work with local athletes, schools, sports organizations, and active community members
• Participate in program development as the clinic expands
