Onboarding

Create a positive experience for all by ensuring your new practitioner has what they need to work & integrate into your clinic

Research has shown that a physician that is integrated into the community early has a better chance of wanting to stay for a longer time period. 

Quick Tips

• Have a  dedicated individual "buddy" to onboard the physician on the first day

• Prepare in advance introductions to the clinic/lunch or coffee meeting in the first week

• Tour of the clinic as well as the local community if possible

• Support family that has arrived ie: spouse/children 

• Introduce by email to the Division Community Ambassador as soon as date is set for arrival for support: Bronwyn Murray bmurray@kbdivision.ca 

• Introductions to other physicians in the community 

• Check in on a weekly basis to see if any other support is needed especially the first couple of months
