Role and Facility Information

The Department of Medicine at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre (ARHCC) is recruiting one locum general internist skilled in the management of complex inpatients. The candidate should be hardworking and proficient in managing busy inpatient and outpatient services, prioritizing health authority-based hospital work.

The hospital is a tertiary regional referral centre serving the population of Fraser East. Candidates are expected to manage consultation services, general internal medicine ward services, and rapid access clinics. Internists also cover Mission Memorial Hospital, where exercise treadmill tests are provided.

Abbotsford Regional Hospital is a teaching hospital affiliated with UBC. Candidates will be involved in bedside and/or didactic teaching of medical students, internal medicine residents, and family practice residents. Academic appointment will be through UBC, and the site will welcome learners from the new Simon Fraser University medical school.

Joining a dynamic team, you will work with existing Internists in developing and running an inpatient General Internal Medicine unit for medically complex patients. The hospital offers various internal medicine subspecialty services, including critical care, cardiology, nephrology, infectious diseases, and more. A separate family practice hospitalist service will manage less complex medical inpatients.

Due to patient care complexity, it is advised that the on-call physician remains close to the hospital after hours. New physicians are expected to share a 1 in 7-8 call eventually. The Internal Medicine group also runs Rapid Access Clinic, Graduated Care Clinic, and Diabetes Clinic at the hospital, while providing inpatient services and clinic services at Mission Memorial Hospital.

Our goal is to foster excellence in clinical practice in a collegial atmosphere, with attention to work-life balance and personal and professional development.
