Full Job Description
Job Description
This busy referral-based practice provides comprehensive pediatric care in a supportive, collegial environment with a strong reputation among referring physicians and families. Physicians benefit from an established referral network, flexible scheduling, dedicated administrative support, and the autonomy to build a practice that aligns with their professional interests. While the clinic primarily focuses on referral-based pediatrics, there is also flexibility for physicians interested in providing pediatric primary care.

Schedule:

Flexible scheduling available from 1 day per week to full-time (5 days per week). Physicians may also schedule around hospital commitments and other clinical responsibilities.

Requirements:

  • FRCPC certification in Pediatrics
  • Eligible for or currently holding licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA)
  • Strong clinical judgment and commitment to evidence-based pediatric care
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Interest in community-based pediatric practice

Compensation:

Fee-for-service, transparent and simple. You bill your own FFS; overhead is a fixed $600/day (in line with Calgary pediatric clinics), charged only on days worked and reduced for your first few months while you build your panel. Most pediatricians here bill roughly $8,000 gross per week on a four-day schedule - gross billings before overhead and tax; actual earnings vary with patient mix, hours, and administrative time, and provincial fees are currently under renewal. With the waitlist, a general pediatrician's schedule fills quickly.

Support & Resources:

  • Dedicated Medical Office Assistants
  • Office Manager and Triage Clerk support
  • Experienced administrative team handling scheduling, patient intake, rooming, and coordination
  • Secure patient communication systems
  • AI-enabled EMR platform (implementation underway)
  • Collaborative physician group providing peer support and cross-coverage
  • Efficient clinic operations with exceptionally low no-show rates
  • Minimal after-hours call burden, averaging approximately one out-of-hours call per month

Academic Opportunities:

The clinic serves as a teaching site for medical students, family medicine residents, pediatric residents, physician assistants, and nurse practitioner students through established university partnerships. Participation in teaching is entirely optional.
