Position Summary

Join our collegial emergency medicine team in Williams Lake! In our 24/7 ED, you’ll help manage approximately 22,000 visits per year. With a diverse range of cases and numerous procedural opportunities, you’ll also collaborate with specialists in internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry.

In our ED, you’ll have the opportunity to teach and mentor medical students and residents as part of the UBC Faculty of Medicine’s rural teaching program. The medical community offers numerous opportunities to expand your scope of practice based on your interests.

For those interested, Leadership Development Opportunities are available with Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program. The NAVIG8 Emerging Physician Leaders Program is a comprehensive leadership development program designed specifically for physicians to address the practical leadership knowledge, behaviors, and skills that high potential, emerging medical leaders require to step into leadership roles early in their careers.

The CMH redevelopment project is well underway. By the end of 2026, we'll have an expanded emergency department with 23 treatment spaces, a medical-surgical inpatient unit with 36 beds, and a mental health unit featuring 8 single-occupancy rooms. As the project moves toward completion in 2029, enhancements across the hospital will include an upgraded maternity and women's health unit, expanded oncology and ambulatory care services, and a new academic space for the UBC Faculty of Medicine.
