Practice Details:

Dr. Davidson and Thomson are actively seeking a new associate to take over permanently at the Kingsfoil Medical Clinic (KMC).

Kingsfoil Medical Clinic currently provides comprehensive, office based, longitudinal family practice care to the people of Kelowna and surrounds. Dr. Davidson also provides care to opioid dependent individuals. We do not do obstetrics and we have associate hospital privileges which means our patients are taken care of by our hospitalist program when admitted to hospital. This is a well-established, well known and respected family practice with a robust patient base. We are available for after-hours call via telephone between 1-2 weeks per year as we are part of a large call group.

Our medical clinic is looking for a new associate to replace a retiring family doctor in this well-established two doctor Family Medical Practice.

There are ample opportunities to work extra hours in other areas in Kelowna should the new MD want to work more than 3 ½ and 1 full day per week.

An interest in addiction medicine, especially managing a group of opioid dependent patients, would be preferable but not essential. Training and mentorship in this field is also available.
