Job description

Overview

We are seeking General Internists to join a dedicated team of specialists and family physicians serving the diverse population of Terrace and surrounding communities. This is an exciting opportunity to practice full-spectrum Internal Medicine in a collegial environment, with a broad and meaningful scope of work.

The Successful Candidate Will Provide

• ICU coverage
• Inpatient and regional consultation services
• Outpatient Internal Medicine clinics

Practice Structure & Schedule

• Inpatient Schedule: Divided by weeks with two options:
  1. A split service model where two providers share call and clinical responsibilities (2:5 global coverage)
  2. A single-provider model where one provider covers all call and service for the week (1:5 global coverage – this can be very busy)
• Outpatient Work: Managed through the provider’s private clinic and scheduled at their discretion

Subspecialty Support & Case Mix

• Subspecialty Support: While there are no in-community subspecialists, we are well-supported by remote telephone advice across all subspecialties. Additionally, visiting specialists such as Neurologists, Rheumatologists, and ENT physicians provide intermittent in-person support.
• Typical Cases: The case mix is broad and encompasses the full spectrum of General Internal Medicine. Patients in the North are often underserved and present with more advanced pathology. GIM physicians are typically the first point of contact for specialized care, with subspecialists involved as needed.
• Required Skills: Full-spectrum GIM skillset including acute intensive care, acute cardiology, procedures, and broad inpatient and outpatient consultative capabilities.
