- Streamlined referrals and care for patients through health authority resources.
- Practicing in a collegial and supportive work and social environment where you can be part of a neighbourhood family of GPs.
- Building your practice in a mentoring setting.

New Canadian Clinic
This opportunity is for a salaried NP to provide medical care to government-assisted refugees during their first year in Canada, and new immigrants in Canada under five years, whose medical needs may be complicated by language, cultural, or knowledge barriers.
The focus is on providing health management, education, and self-management support for those with multiple chronic conditions such as diabetes, and heart, lung, and renal disease.
Homeless Outreach

Burnaby Community and Culture
With its pristine lakes, stunning botanical gardens, and grand parks, Burnaby pairs indoor and outdoor adventure flawlessly. Centrally located in the Lower Mainland, it is a perfect destination for exploring the great outdoors and the spirited Metro Vancouver. Housing the third largest shopping mall in Canada and the renowned Playground of the Gods, Burnaby is for outdoor enthusiasts and urbanites alike.
Burnaby grew from farms and forests to Vancouver’s suburb to a major regional centre in its own right. Today the city is a thriving residential area containing major commercial, industrial, and educational activities.
Join our Community and Participate in a Neighbourhood Network
Neighbourhood networks in Burnaby bring together physicians who share geographic commonalities, to form a network of GPs working together to improve the delivery of primary care services for their patients and the residents of their community. Three neighbourhood networks have been launched in Burnaby covering the Metrotown, Edmonds and Hastings/Brentwood areas.
Neighbourhood networks are platforms for creating connections between PMHs, and for GPs to come together to make local decisions and set priorities for their communities. Initial neighbourhood network meetings were used to lay the groundwork for physicians to establish relationships and were followed by focused discussions around GP-GP shared care opportunities and team-based care integration with Burnaby Health Services. Each neighbourhood network has also identified priority population groupings for allied health service needs and have had initial discussions of how allied health and nursing wrap around PMHs and the patients who access them.
Future opportunities in the networks include engaging the Health Authority to co-design potential service integration opportunities among allied health staff and other practices in the network.
