Practice Description

Join a collegial neurology team at Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH) in Penticton in providing care for patients across Penticton and surrounding communities.

The service includes the assessment and management of a broad range of neurological conditions, with an emphasis on thorough evaluation and individualized treatment planning.

The group’s approach is patient-centered, compassionate, and collaborative, with a focus on clear communication, ongoing education, and supporting patients and families through diagnosis and treatment. This is a collegial community-based practice that offers the opportunity to provide accessible specialist care in a smaller-centre setting while serving an important regional need.

As a regional referral site for the South Okanagan, PRH offers local access to MRI, CT, EEG and EMG, along with additional specialist support within the hospital. The David E. Kampe Tower also includes a dedicated ambulatory care centre with outpatient neurology and diagnostic support services.

For clinicians interested in leadership, Interior Health offers access to NAVIG8, a two year, in house leadership development scheme, recognized by the Canadian Society of Physician Leaders.

Participation in the Interior Health regional Neurology call schedule is an expectation of this position. The successful candidate will contribute to virtual regional call coverage and provide neurological consultation and support across Interior Health sites, in accordance with the established regional service model and call schedule.
