Job description

Role and Facility Information

The South Island Hospitalist group, along with Island Health, is looking for hospitalists to join our dynamic team in beautiful Victoria.

Hospitalists in Victoria provide a 24-hour MRP service at the Victoria General and Royal Jubilee Hospitals. The medicine is interesting; there is a lot of variety, pathology, and we enjoy a high degree of autonomy while being well supported by our specialist colleagues. Our care covers patients aged 17-100+, and includes addictions, palliative care, geriatrics and co-management of surgical and rehabilitation patients.

Island Health is affiliated with the UBC Faculty of Medicine. Hospitalists support undergraduate and resident teaching at both hospital sites. We have weekly CME rounds, and many opportunities for learning, growth and innovation. As part of our team, you also have the option of working in one of our unique hospitalist-run programs including the Inpatient MAID service, Hospital at Home and the Rapid Assessment and Discharge short-stay unit.

We are looking for enthusiastic, keen candidates with an interest in acute care who love working collaboratively as part of a team. We have a strong, tailored mentorship program to onboard our new members. In addition, we offer a six-week (non-consecutive) FP return to acute care refresher program for those out of hospital medicine two years.

Start Date: As soon as possible
