PracticeinBC.ca recruitment portal adds new resources

The GPSC Recruitment and Retention Steering Committee’s web portal, PracticeinBC.ca, has added several new tools and resources. PracticeinBC.ca is a one-stop information source with two parts: one for people interested in becoming a BC family doctor and the other for divisions of family practice and local doctors looking for tools and templates to support recruitment to their communities.

Since launching last year, the one-of-a-kind site has become a popular recruitment resource. New additions to PracticeinBc.ca include:

• A recent webinar about Vancouver Island divisions’ collaborative recruitment strategy.
• Personal checklists to enable Canadian and international medical grads, as well as Canadians studying abroad, to keep track of each stage of their journey to practice in BC.
• CMA’s New to Practice Guide for 2017.
• Recruitment videos from Burnaby, North Shore and Vancouver Island divisions.
• Links to the College of Physicians and Surgeons’ registration and licensing changes.
• Access to more locum opportunities with the addition of Locumunity to the jobs section.

These can be found under What’s New on PracticeinBC.ca.
