The Carefirst Family Health Team (FHT) is seeking full-time/part-time permanent and locum family physicians to join our innovative, interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering high-quality, community-based care.

About Us

Carefirst FHT is committed to delivering exceptional, comprehensive primary care through a collaborative, team-based model that includes family physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, service navigators, dieticians, physiotherapists, and medical receptionists. We have a robust Chronic Disease Management and Prevention program, including a Diabetes Education Program, and are actively involved in many of the Ontario Health Team’s primary care initiatives. 

Our “Hub & Spoke Model” and strong community partnerships ensure coordinated, high-quality, patient‑centred care across the continuum. We work closely with Carefirst Seniors & Community Services Association to provide truly integrated services.

Clinic Locations

We currently operate four well-established clinics across Scarborough, Markham and Richmond Hill, and continue to expand in Markham and Stouffville to support continued growth and community needs.

Physicians will be assigned to a location that aligns with their preferences and residence, with occasional rotation to support clinic operations.

The Position

With this rapid expansion, we are looking for compassionate, team-oriented family physicians who are committed to delivering high-quality care and value interdisciplinary collaboration to fill a new position at our Family Health Team.

An existing patient waitlist offers an excellent opportunity to establish a thriving practice quickly. We welcome new graduates and international medical graduates fulfilling return-of-service requirements!
