About the Opportunity

Step into a fully established family practice — no roster building, no cold start.

A respected Tillsonburg family physician is retiring after decades of service, and their complete, well-managed patient roster is available to the incoming physician from day one. This is a rare succession opportunity: a ready-made full-scope practice, strong income potential from the outset, and a community that is genuinely ready to welcome you.

Practice Details

·        Established FHO practice opportunity with roster transition. More details available through a confidential discussion

·        EMR platform, overhead arrangement, clinic hours, office and exam room availability can be reviewed with interested candidates

·        Administrative and clinic support are in place to help the incoming physician transition smoothly

·        Start date and handover timing are flexible and can be coordinated with the physician and clinic team

Financial Package

·     Municipal recruitment incentive of $30,000 for clinic-based family practice, increasing up to $65,000 for physicians who also provide coverage at RRHS, under the Town’s Shared Physician Recruitment Model

·     Strong income potential with a full inherited roster — the opportunity begins with established patient volume rather than a gradual multi-year ramp-up

·     Residency requirement of within 50 km of Tillsonburg — live in town, in the countryside, or in a neighboring community

·     Relocation guidance, community tours, and settlement support coordinated by the Town’s dedicated physician recruitment team

·     Internationally trained physicians are welcome. Eligible candidates may qualify through recognized CPSO and CFPC pathways, and current federal immigration pathways may support eligible medical doctors. The Town can help candidates navigate next steps with the appropriate licensing and immigration resources.

Why Tillsonburg
