Frequently Asked Questions
I am an international medical graduate (IMG). Do you offer a sponsorship position?
No. Physicians are required to have an unrestricted Canadian medical license.
Is the clinic physician led?
Snowy Owl Medical Clinic is a non-franchise clinic led by Dr. Michael From. Our clinic works to provide sustainable and supportive relationships with all patients, staff, physicians, and even other clinics. We take our relationships with our physicians seriously. We work with them to provide a welcoming, transparent, sustainable, and profitable environment to further their careers.
How do I obtain hospital privileges and ER shifts?
You can apply for privileges and credentialing through Rural Health (Calgary Zone). Snowy Owl Medical Clinic is not associated with the hospital and cannot guarantee successful credentialing or availability of shifts. However, we are happy to assist you in the process.
Do you accept part-time providers?
Yes! We want physicians to have a schedule that works for them. We can discuss arrangements to serve patients on days you are not available. Keep in mind that some patients want a full-time physician so building up a full schedule of patients for part-time providers may take longer.
What if I need extended time away, like a maternity leave or family sickness?
Not a problem. Because we work on a revenue sharing agreement, you would not pay overhead while you are gone.* Our other clinic physicians or locums would work to accommodate your patients until your return.
Which Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system do you use?
We use Med Access by Telus Health. It can be highly tailored to have shortcuts, macros, frequently used diagnoses, medications, bills and more. Physicians are responsible for their own billing but we will be there to support and troubleshoot for you.
Are there other requirements?
Physicians are required to be members of the Highland Primary Care Network (HPCN).
We require our physicians to adhere to all of CPSA's guidelines.
We require a background criminal record check before starting at the clinic.
I have a special medical interest. How can you support this?
We love special interests! We will work to accommodate you with equipment (assuming reasonable costs) and other clinical changes required. We would also promote and advertise your special interests to the community.
What do I need to bring when I start?
You are responsible for providing your own office computer (consider using AMA funds, if available), printer, stethoscope, and personal reference books. We provide you with office space, desk, chair, shelf, and regular office supplies. Exam rooms are stocked with standard medical supplies along with a computer and printer.
I am an established physician in the area and interested in switching clinics. What can you offer?
Give us a call or stop by. We would be happy to discuss this with you.
If you are using a Telus Health system (Wolf, Med Access, PS Suite), your charts can be transferred. Snowy Owl Medical Clinic would cover the cost of the transfer.*
Please also refer to CPSA's Relocating a Medical Practice guidelines.
