Physician, Healthcare Consultant

Purpose Med was founded in 2019 with the mission of improving access to complex care for underserved communities. We’ve grown quickly in our first few years, and now our exceptional team serves thousands of patients each month across our multiple verticals.

Purpose Med consists of three complex care business units:
Freddie, Frida, and Foria, and partners with Affirming Care Pharmacy. Freddie is focused on improving sexual health through education, prevention, and treatment with a focus on the LGBTQ2S+ community—we’re now the largest HIV prevention service in Canada! Our second vertical, Frida, is focused on improving mental health and happiness through education, diagnosis, and treatment. Frida is changing the lives of patients with easier access to adult ADHD diagnosis, and fast and affordable treatment.

Foria was recently launched in 2023 and is a virtual clinic providing trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse Canadians with gender-affirming healthcare. Affirming Care Pharmacy is a specialty pharmacy with locations in Calgary, Alberta, and Mississauga, Ontario. This partnership provides our patients with an end-to-end healthcare experience, from treatment, to prescription delivery, to continuous affirming care.

We’re one of Linked In’s Top 15 Startups in Canada, the #2 Company-to-Watch in Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 program, and a member of the Team True North roster as one of Canada’s fastest-growing and most promising startups. Our culture is highly mission-driven; our team is passionate about bringing healthcare to those who need it most. Best of all—we have fun doing it.

Foria Clinic provides virtual care to best allow an equal access point to any patient in the province. Beginning January 1, 2025, we will be partnering with an in-person clinic to allow for in-person patient visits in Calgary, AB. Physicians based in Calgary, AB will have the choice to work virtually, or in person at this time.

We are looking for Physicians who are passionate about providing high quality gender-affirming care to our Foria Clinic patients. Foria clinic is primarily a virtual clinic providing trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse Canadians with gender-affirming healthcare. Reporting to the Medical Director of Foria, our team of physicians provide hormone assessments and prescriptions, surgical assessments and referrals, and general health care to trans and nonbinary people in Alberta.
