Vancouver Aboriginal Health Society Clinic is located on the unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh territory in Vancouver’s downtown eastside and is looking to grow their team. They are a full-scope family practice that is supported by a psychiatrist, mental health counsellor, elders, a dietician, a social worker, and a nurse who does blook work, immunizations, wound care, pap smear screening, and STI treatments. The clinic has 8 physicians working in the clinic and conducts appointments both virtually and in person. The clinic serves a predominantly urban Indigenous population, although not exclusively so.
