“This is a great opportunity for physicians who want to get involved in clinical leadership, but in a flexible model supported by a broad interprofessional group, so that they don’t have to manage the operational and logistical aspects of running a clinic.”
— Dr. Bill Cherniak, Founder & CEO, Rocket Doctor
Rocket Doctor is launching a new Family Health Organization (FHO) in the Greater Toronto Area, and we’re looking for a Clinical Director to help build and lead the group, with support from a large, well‑organized team.
This is a rare opportunity for a family physician seeking clinical autonomy, leadership, and a stable FHO income, leveraging the new FHO+ model, without the administrative burden of running a practice independently.
As the Clinical Director, you will lead this FHO,
and, if desired, establish your own patient panel .
Your leadership will help shape how care is delivered, as you work in a hybrid model combining in‑person and virtual care, backed by Rocket Doctor’s full operations, billing, and technology team.
This is perfect for two types of candidates:
A family physician mid‑career with experience working in a FHO / FHT or other patient enrollment style of practice who is looking for a change, and wants to take on a role in leadership.
They may or may not want to build an entirely new practice, and desire added flexibility of scaling up or down their own rostered patients.
A family physician later in their career who has run their own FHO or FHT, but is no longer interested in a large full‑time panel.
They would now like to leverage their expertise from decades of practice to lead the development of a new clinical group, without having to build a new panel of patients.
Your Role
Leadership
Serve as the founding Clinical Director for the practice
Mentor and collaborate with additional physicians joining the group
Help shape clinical protocols and standards of care
Practice Development
Contribute to the design of clinic workflows and patient experience
Participate in quality improvement initiatives
Provide clinical input into practice operations and care delivery models
Clinical Care
Build and manage your own rostered patient panel as you like, with a minimum of 250 pts, per MOH guidelines
Provide comprehensive family medicine through both in‑person and virtual care
Deliver longitudinal, relationship‑based care to patients in the Greater Toronto Area
Operational and Practice Support
Rocket Doctor provides the infrastructure and operational support required to run a modern primary care practice.
This includes:
Clinic space and infrastructure
Administrative and operational support
Billing and scheduling management
EMR and technology platform
Patient acquisition and panel growth support
Recruitment support for additional physicians
Care coordination and support staff
In addition, Rocket Doctor maintains a large pool of locum physicians available to provide coverage when physicians need time away from their practice, helping ensure flexibility and continuity of care.
This structure allows physicians to focus on patient care and clinical leadership rather than clinic management.
Compensation
This role will operate within Ontario’s Family Health Organization (FHO)+ capitation model, providing a stable income with additional leadership incentives.
Compensation includes:
Stable capitation revenue from rostered patients (provincial funding, according to the number of patients you choose to roster)
Performance incentives tied to panel size and engagement
Leadership funding of up to $100,000 annually, depending on the number of patients rostered across all MDs at the practice.
100% of Ministry leadership incentives paid directly to the MD Lead
Estimated total annual earnings for an MD who builds a mature panel: $ 350,000–$450,000+
In addition to the Ministry of Health’s compensation, you will also receive $30,000+ in Stock and Option grants from Rocket Doctor AI , our parent publicly‑traded company.
These shares can be held in your online trading account of choice (ex RBC), to be used as you like.
You Might Be a Great Fit If You
Are a licensed Family Physician in Ontario (CCFP) in good standing
Are interested in a clinical leadership role
Enjoy building and improving systems, not just working within them
Value autonomy and want a say in how your practice operates
Are entrepreneurial and excited to help launch something new
Want the stability of a FHO with strong operational support
Are not currently part of a FHO, or looking to change to something new

We recognize this is a unique and highly considered role, and many physicians have thoughtful questions before deciding if it’s the right fit.
