Job description

Join to apply for the Emergency Medicine role at Interior Health Authority.

A dynamic, collegial and lifestyle oriented 32 person group is looking to add additional team members, and encourage both full time and part time applicants. We work under an APP contract for emergency and a MOCAP contract for our Trauma Team Leader (TTL) program, working 14 shifts a month between the two programs (if you are full time). This leaves plenty of time to take advantage of the outdoor wonderland that surrounds Kamloops. Enjoy skiing at Sun Peaks or the back country, mountain biking year round, beautiful lakes, golf courses and world class sports facilities in the Tournament Capital Centre. And you instantly have 32 friends to do these activities with!

Royal Inland Hospital is one of the two tertiary care hospitals in the interior of British Columbia. Our department sees approximately 75,000 visits per year and is the third busiest trauma centre in BC. Our group maintains current practice standards by holding monthly journal clubs, quality rounds and trauma rounds often at our homes, combining learning and socializing. Our learners include 3rd year medical students doing their core rotations in our hospital, 4th year students on electives, a family practice residency program with 8 residents per year, and starting in 2023 a third year CCFP EM program with 2 residents per year.

The Phil and Jennie Gaglardi Tower opened at RIH in the summer of 2022. The tower includes new operating rooms and surgical services suite, more beds, respiratory therapy services, mental-health and substance-use inpatient unit, obstetrics services, labour and delivery and a rooftop helipad. A new Pediatric Unit opened at RIH in July 2024 which includes 9 individual rooms, including an isolation room, procedure and Outpatient Clinic rooms and amenities which are designed to enhance family centered care.

In this position you also have the opportunity to teach as RIH is a UBC site for the Faculty of Medicine including medical students and residents. The Teck Emergency Department renovation and expansion is underway in a new era for RIH, and will take place in phases, Phase 1 is scheduled to open in the Fall of 2024. Phase 2 renovations are scheduled to be complete in 2025. When finished, the department will offer expanded care and enhanced patient outcomes in one of the busiest emergency/trauma centres in British Columbia’s interior region.

In addition to seeking permanent members we are looking for short or long terms locums immediately, until we have completed our hiring. Candidates with their CCFPEM, FRCPC or ABEM are encouraged to apply. Email CV to [e-mail] or reach out to Dr. Keith Hutchison to find out more.
