In addition, the R&R team has programming to support the administrative needs of family practice clinics. We recruit medical office assistants (MOAs) and clinic managers to contribute to the growing need for clinic staff.
Welcome to Longitudinal Family Practice Handbook
Our helpful handbook created for clinics, FPs, and NPs to learn more about the Vancouver Division, our partners, and access overviews of key aspects involved in practicing in Vancouver. From licensing to finding a clinic to join to types of remuneration and much more.
Practice Closure & Retirement
Unlike some other professions, closing or retiring from your family practice is not as simple as picking a date and closing your doors. There are other steps to consider, such as looking for someone to take over the care of your patients. Developing a plan for your practice closure/retirement early on can help reduce stress during this transition. We recommend you take some time to envision what you want your own practice closure/retirement transition to look like. After you’ve had some time to start preparing yourself for your practice closure/retirement, it is important to consider how you will transition your practice and patients.
If you are thinking about closing your practice, the R&R team can provide you with an in-depth overview for your retirement plan to support your patients and more as you transition out of practice.
Practice Closure & Retirement Guide
The purpose of this guide is to provide insight into all of key components, considerations, and resources related to practice closure and retirement planning for clinic-based family physicians and nurse practitioners.
