What is a Family Practice Doctor?
A Family doctor is a specialist who has completed 4 years of medical school, followed by 3 years of residency, with intensive training in all the fields of primary care, including internal medicine, pediatrics, ob-gyn, psychiatry and geriatrics.

What are the opportunities in the area for Family Practice?
Kelowna is a WONDERFUL place to live and practice. There are multiple opportunities for family physicians in both family practice and other areas. I am involved in a walk-in/family practice clinic where we have 5 doctors. Usually, we have one doctor seeing walk-in patients and another one doing appointments. The benefit of this arrangement is that as a group we can cover for each other if we wish to have time off and we have good team camaraderie.
