A Patient Medical Home is a team-based primary care model where people receive accessible, coordinated, comprehensive care from an interdisciplinary team.
They work as collaborative primary care providers, supported by nursing, allied health, and administrative colleagues. Roles are organized so each provider can contribute at the top of their scope.
Gulf Shore is recruiting up to four providers through any combination of Family Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. New graduates, experienced providers, and locums are welcome to start a conversation.
They may be possible, subject to operational requirements. Tell the recruitment team what a sustainable practice would look like for you.
PEI describes salary, fee-for-service, and contract-for-service pathways. The model, benefits, overhead, panel expectations, and other terms depend on the approved Gulf Shore position and must be confirmed in a written offer under the current Physician Services Agreement.
Current provincial information describes separate programs for eligible recent graduates and experienced NPs, a rural incentive for eligible positions outside Charlottetown, and possible relocation assistance. These programs have eligibility and return-in-service requirements; Health PEI must confirm what applies to a specific Gulf Shore position and candidate.
Recruitment and relocation incentives may be available depending on the role, program, and candidate eligibility. The recruitment team can confirm current details.
PEI promotes locum support and both in-person and virtual site visits for eligible physician candidates. Availability and prior approvals vary. Gulf Shore can begin with an informal conversation and help you ask the provincial recruitment team about current options.
Physicians must be registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of PEI. Nurse Practitioners must be registered with the Prince Edward Island College of Nursing and Midwifery. Gulf Shore can help you find the right contact, but only the regulator can determine licensing eligibility.
Yes. You do not need to resolve every licensing or immigration question before contacting Gulf Shore. The relevant regulator, Health PEI, and immigration authorities will determine eligibility and formal requirements; an early conversation can help you identify the correct pathway.
North Rustico is approximately 30 minutes by car from Charlottetown, with beaches, schools, recreation, and community services nearby.
Yes. The area offers nearby schools, outdoor recreation, community events, short commutes, and easy access to Charlottetown.

No. Email, call, or text a GSCHC board member directly to ask your questions or arrange a voice or video conversation. Current contact details are maintained on the Talk with our team page. A CV, account, and formal application are not required for the first conversation. If you decide to move forward, you will need to complete Health PEI’s required forms and provide the appropriate documentation; GSCHC can help you navigate that process.
GSCHC provides a local, personal point of contact for the Gulf Shore opportunity and works in conjunction with Health PEI. GSCHC can help you understand the role, meet the team, prepare for the formal process, and navigate the required forms. Health PEI manages the official employment process and confirms candidate-specific terms; the professional regulators independently determine licensing eligibility.
