a golden practice opportunity in yukon’s outdoor playground

Welcome to Dawson City! Once a bustling Gold Rush hotspot, our Yukon town of about 2,500 residents (and large surrounding catchment) is a hub of arts and culture, and a gateway to some of Canada’s greatest outdoors. If you’re looking for a fulfilling rural medicine practice in the Yukon’s largest rural center… we’re looking for a permanent doctor to join our medical team.

Enjoy summers under the midnight sun with alpine meadows, bike trails, and world-class canoeing right in your own backyard. In winter, cozy up after a curling match, hockey game, or cross country ski – or take the snowmobile for a spin under our breathtaking Northern Lights. Our lively town is brimming with historic boardwalks, cafes and restaurants, and weekly shows and events. Dawson is a very welcoming and safe community, great for raising kids and having a family. There’s a reason so many of us in Dawson City came for a visit – and have simply never left!

The medical clinic & Hospital

Located in the centre of town, Yukon’s northern-most hospital serves the local population and surrounding catchment. With six in-patient beds, a well-equipped 24-hour ER, Helivac support, and experienced staff, our hospital and clinic are equipped to handle a variety of in and out-patient treatments and medical emergencies.

Enjoy work-life balance, and all the benefits of a hands-on rural practice. We’re looking for like-minded physicians willing to dig in and engage with our patients' problems, keep up our very low rates of narcotic prescribing, practice a wide scope of medicine, and help coordinate care across long distances.

walk home from work. then go wherever the day takes you.

Whether you like to unwind with a mountain-top epic view, a stunning cross-country ski, or a cappuccino and some live tunes at the local cafe, our Northern Gem has you covered. Don’t miss our Dawson City Music Festival, local First Nation’s celebrations, and a variety of races (on foot, bike, boat, and dog sled) that take our Gold Rush town by storm.
