In these clinical service contract positions the providers will work collaboratively with an inter-disciplinary health care team to provide culturally safe primary care.

We are fully integrated into the Saanich Peninsula PCN. Management of our clinics is provided by Shoreline Medical Society, a non-profit organization that partners with interdisciplinary health care providers and the community to deliver: patient-centred care, hospital/community continuity of care, education and a healthy life-work balance for our team.
