This is how you bring physicians to your community. Murphy's Landing in Vernon, British Columbia just moved in its first medical resident into its newly developed, dedicated #medicaltrainee housing. Thousands of #residents in the area did not have access to a single #familymedicine doctor and now they have opened a #residency program and provided affordable housing for its trainees. Not a new concept, but just an example of how rural communities can create incentives and provide outreach to attract more candidates into the right place. #RuralHealth matters and though everyone suffers from physician shortages, it has become dire in some communities more than others. Showcasing these types of developments and how you'll truly integrate into a community is what we are building at Grapevyne. It's not just another #jobboard. It's not another recruiting agency either. Driven by physician referrals, it matches physicians who will most likely come and stay in a community because they get shared job posts from people they trust. https://lnkd.in/eZfG23ZW Article by Roger Knox at the Vernon Morning Star.
