Job description

Job Summary

The Department of Medicine at Eagle Ridge Hospital is recruiting two general internists skilled in the management of complex inpatients. Responsibilities will include a combination of clinical care, teaching, and quality improvement, with the mix of responsibilities depending on the successful candidate’s background and job profile. Competitive candidates will possess outstanding clinical, communication, teaching, and interpersonal skills that enable them to work collaboratively with other physicians, learners, hospital staff and administrators.

Currently Eagle Ridge Hospital has an existing High Acuity Unit/Monitored Care Unit (MCU) fully staffed by 3 existing Internists. The two new Internists hired will be involved in the development and running of a new 15-bed Internal Medicine unit (IMU) for medically complex patients. The internists will have MRP responsibilities for these patients. Coverage will be 7 days per week and responsibilities will be shared with the other full‑time Internist. On‑call evening/overnight coverage is provided by the MCU internist. An IMU internist will also staff the IM Rapid Access Clinic (RAC). All RAC overhead, including office space and MOA, is covered by the hospital. A separate hospitalist service will look after the majority of other admitted medical inpatients, fostering excellent relationships between internists and hospitalists. Our goal is to foster excellence in clinical practice in a collegial atmosphere, with attention to work‑life balance and personal and professional development.
