Clinic Overview This clinic is a fast-growing healthcare network offering comprehensive, multidisciplinary medical services across several locations in Ontario. With a strong focus on collaborative care, the group integrates family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, bloodwork technicians, and social workers under one roof, ensuring patients receive complete, coordinated care in one convenient setting. Each clinic is modern and fully equipped, featuring two examination rooms per physician, an in-house pharmacy, and a comfortable, patient-friendly environment. Physicians benefit from efficient administrative systems, an experienced management team, and full operational support from the head office, including billing, finance, marketing, and compliance services. Why This Opportunity Stands Out Attractive Compensation Model: Earn $40,000-$70,000 per month in billings. 20% overhead Performance-based bonuses available, including incentives tied to in-house pharmacy services, referrals, and clinic growth. Sign-on and relocation support available upon request. Physicians interested in entrepreneurship may also join the Clinic Partnership Program, which allows them to operate their own clinic under the brand with head office support. Comprehensive Support System: In-house billing services managed by a dedicated financial team. Fully trained MOAs (1-2 per physician), each with 5+ years of experience and medical backgrounds. Multidisciplinary team: On-site nurses, nurse practitioners, and senior physicians ensure smooth patient care and knowledge sharing. Central management structure: Includes clinic managers, operations directors, a financial controller, and a marketing team that assists with patient acquisition and retention. Flexible Work Structure: Work 4 days per week with 20-30 patients per day. No evening or weekend shifts required. Option to work from home available for virtual consultations. Physicians have freedom to set their own hours based on clinic capacity and personal preference. Professional Development: This group actively supports doctors who wish to develop special interests in areas such as women's health, geriatrics, chronic disease management, or other clinical subspecialties. The management team provides mentoring, training, and patient flow support to help build these focus areas. Why This Location Stands Out Unique Area Highlights : You get the advantage of "edge city" living - a neighbourhood with more breathing room than downtown but full access to the metropolis. Scenic natural landmarks line some parts, offering a blend of urban convenience and nature. Housing & Cost of Living : This area offers a relatively more affordable entry into the Toronto market - overall cost of living is about 11 % lower than the Toronto average in many comparisons. Amenities : You get full access to a major city's infrastructure: top-tier hospitals and medical facilities; extensive retail, dining, and cultural districts; and strong public transit connections (subways, buses) linking you across the greater metropolitan region. Safety : In many neighbourhoods close to this area, crime rates are comparable to or slightly below national averages. Overall, residents often regard this side as safer than inner-city downtown cores. Schools & Childcare : The region is home to many public and private schools offering strong academic programs, with language immersion options in many districts. Transport / Airport Access : Proximity to Toronto Pearson International Airport gives you strong global connectivity. At the same time, local transit (subway lines, bus networks) provides efficient access to hospitals, clinics, and research hubs across the city. Recreational & Lifestyle Highlights : You will enjoy a rich mix of green space and city life - local ravines, parks, trails, and waterside access, plus vibrant cultural and food scenes reflecting diverse communities. Climate : You get the full four seasons: warm, pleasant summers; colourful autumns; snow in winter but mitigated by city services; and fresh springs. It is a climate that supports both urban life and nature escapes. Multiculturality : This area is among the most diverse in the region: a very high proportion of residents are immigrants or children of immigrants, and visible-minority communities make up a large share of the population. CloserMed's Free Services for Physicians We understand how important of a decision this is and the challenges involved. CloserMed is here to help. Here are some of the ways we can provide support: Step-by-step licensing support Immigration and LMIA support Income planning and projections Area guidance: housing, schools, transportation, etc. Requirements Family Physician Specialty Training from the UK, Canada, Ireland or USA.
