The Prince Edward Family Health Team is an engaged group of 23 rural physicians in the naturally beautiful community of Prince Edward County. The County, as it is known locally, is one of Canada’s most sought-after rural communities, just 45 minutes from Kingston, 2.5 hrs from Toronto or 3 hours from Ottawa. We are looking for family physicians to join our team, with full Family Health Organization (FHO) spots available, as well as practice-sharing opportunities. Short and long-term locum work is also available

• Maintaining an office practice in Prince Edward County (in the towns of Picton or Wellington) 
  

• Providing coverage to inpatients at the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) in Picton

If you join our FHO, you may qualify for a competitive financial incentive. Be sure to ask us for details.

Not many places can offer the same flexibility when it comes to practice options. Choose to augment your income by working in our small local Emergency Department at PECMH, in one of our 4 Long Term Care homes or at our Hospice. If you’re not sure about ER work, we offer a paid ER mentorship program, led by senior physicians in a supportive environment. Customize your practice further by choosing to work solo or with partners in a cost-sharing model. We have practice take-over opportunities available right now – with an office set up and staff ready to go!

We are a FHO connected in a collegial and passionate environment. We are incredibly supportive of new grads, as many in our group teach medical students and family medicine residents from nearby Queen's University (Kingston) and the University of Ottawa. We are fortunate to be integrated with the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT), which provides enhanced primary care services such as mental health, diabetes education, cardiac rehab, lung health and smoking cessation, maternal and infant childcare, palliative care and much more. You will be equipped with a strong team of allied health professionals, including a Pharmacist, Dietician, Respiratory Therapist, Social Worker, Mental Health Counsellors, Nurses and Nurse Practitioners, all of which support a collaborative approach to your patients' care. In addition to clinical support, PEFHT offers IT and EMR support, with access to Accuro across the entire organization. Visit our website atwww.pefht.cato learn more about the programs we offer! 

The community hospital, located in Picton, is part of a four-site hospital corporation, Quinte Health, with excellent access to specialists. Our hospital has 18 inpatient beds, a 24- hour ER, specialty clinics, and an endoscopy suite. Physicians in our community also have the option to staff long-term care facilities, and a three-bed residential hospice. Family physicians have several office space options available, with three complexes in Picton and one in Wellington. Perhaps the most exciting news is the announcement of our brand-new hospital, opening in 2027!
