About Brookline Cooperative Care Clinic

Brookline Collaborative Care Clinic is a modern, multidisciplinary medical centre located in the growing West Bedford community of Nova Scotia.

Founded and managed by experienced healthcare administrators, Brookline was designed with two important goals in mind: improving access to healthcare for patients while creating a supportive, efficient, and rewarding practice environment for physicians.

Our established family medicine practice is home to seven full-time family physicians, supported by a dedicated nursing and administrative team. In addition to comprehensive family medicine,



we provide evening Access Clinics and weekend After-Hours Clinics to help address the growing need for timely, community-based medical care.

Following an enthusiastic response to our extended-hours services, we are expanding our physician coverage and inviting additional physicians to join our team.

Position Overview

We are seeking licensed physicians interested in providing semi-urgent, episodic medical care during evenings and weekends.

This opportunity is particularly well suited to physicians who would like to supplement their income or work part time through fee-for-service billing without taking on rostered patients, long-term follow-up responsibilities, or the administrative burden of managing another practice.

Our extended-hours clinics are designed to provide efficient, focused medical care for patients with non-emergency concerns, supported by experienced nursing staff, organized patient flow, and convenient online appointment booking.

Physicians can participate in occasional shifts or establish a recurring schedule based on their availability.

Flexible Scheduling – Try a Shift Before Committing

We recognize that physicians have busy professional and personal schedules, and we aim to make participation as versatile as possible.

- Weekend coverage is our current priority, with opportunities available on Saturdays or Sundays.




- Additional evening shifts are available every evening except Thursday.
- Weekend shifts are typically four hours or longer.
- Shift dates and times can be arranged collaboratively to accommodate physician availability.
- Opportunities are available for both occasional coverage and regular recurring shifts.
- Physicians are welcome to try a shift with our team before committing to a regular schedule but the goal is to create a structured schedule to alleviate unnecessary administrative burden.

Clinical & Administrative Support

One of Brookline's greatest advantages is our established clinical infrastructure and dedicated support team.

Our goal is to allow physicians to spend their time providing medical care rather than managing administrative responsibilities.

Dedicated Triaging

An experienced member of our clinic support team is available to ensure workflow by:

- Completing initial patient assessments and obtaining vital signs.
- Reviewing presenting concerns and identifying patients requiring urgent attention.
- Initiating clinical documentation and preparing patients for physician assessment.
- Performing appropriate point-of-care testing within authorized scope and protocols.
- Assisting with procedures and other clinical requirements as appropriate.

Our experienced administrative and management team provides:

- Online appointment scheduling and patient registration.
- Health card verification and administration of uninsured patient payments.
- MedAccess EMR access and established clinical documentation templates.
- Physician billing support and claims management.
