We are actively seeking locums who are a part of the Rural GP Locum Program for clinic and ER vacation coverage. We are an “A” community under the RGPLP and each ER shift is eligible for REEF and MOCAP as rural incentives. A billing clerk is available during a locum assignment as well as the use of locum housing.

To show our appreciation for locums, members of our community have put together a “Love a Locum” campaign to give visiting locums a warm welcome and celebrate their role in ensuring sustainable healthcare in Princeton. A gift basket with local gift certificates, healthy fruits and home baked goods provided by members of the community is presented to the locum on their first day of clinic.

To learn more about locum opportunities available here at Cascade Medical Centre you can call the clinic at 250.295.4482 or check the Locums for Rural BC website to see when we have locum assignments available.

The town of Princeton is nestled at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and is the Southern Gateway to BC’s interior. A small town rich in history and beauty with four seasons of activities and opportunity for adventure at every turn!

We are currently staffed with five GP’s and 1 Nurse Practitioner as well as a full complement of medical office assistants. Our clinic offers a wide range of primary care services and is supported by an updated EMR (MedAccess). Cascade Medical Centre is conveniently attached to the hospital, which is a 6 bed inpatient hospital with a 24 hour emergency room and attached long term care facility.

At this time, we are not recruiting for another physician.
