The South Okanagan Similkameen Division of Family Practice and the SOS Health Care Society provide administrative and coordination support to enable a sustainable, team-based model.

The CIS team is a highly collaborative group, with a strong culture of peer support and shared problem-solving. It is well-suited to physicians early in practice who value mentorship and team-based care, as well as experienced providers looking to join a stable and collegial inpatient team.

A small amount of community-based family practice must be maintained to support billing eligibility requirements, with flexibility in how this is arranged.
