Working with collaborative, interdisciplinary models of care, both programs are committed to improving access to high-quality, equitable, person-centered health care and supporting patients with a broad range of health and social needs. The Trauma and Violence Specialized Primary Care Program provides specialized, trauma and violence informed care to individuals impacted by interpersonal, structural, and systemic violence, with a particular focus on supporting survivors of gender-based violence.

The program integrates primary care, mental health,

Responsibilities will span general primary care as well as specialized trauma and violence informed care, including supporting individuals impacted by gender based violence, intimate partner violence, and systemic violence. The successful candidate will bring strong clinical skills, adaptability, empathy, and a commitment to creating safe, respectful, and inclusive care environments.
