Job description

Job Summary

We are looking for two generalist OBGYNs interested in working in a community hospital with 6-7 home call 24-hour shifts monthly. We are a team of physicians who also work independently as part of a supportive community of practice.

Our group of three obstetricians-gynecologists provide primary and consultative maternity care and work closely with excellent family practice and midwifery colleagues. There is the option to supervise elective medical students with the University of British Columbia if desired. There is opportunity to share existing office space, as all of us practice out of the same office.

Physician locums and advanced learners often comment on our exceptional collegiality, culture and interest in quality improvement and support for each other. Fraser Health Authority is routinely one of BC’s top employers and provides many funded opportunities for career growth and development.

We look forward to working together to deliver both maternity care and gynecology services in the long term with which our patients, staff and physicians can share a sense of pride. As a member of the Fraser Health medical staff, you will participate in the University of British Columbia (UBC) medical education program and are expected to apply for a clinical faculty appointment in the Division of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, UBC.

We accept all USA ACOG board certified physicians.

Nestled amid the scenic beauty of the Fraser River and the Golden Ears Mountains, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows provides a mild climate, numerous playgrounds and schools (inclusive of both public and top-tier private options) and a thriving arts community. The region is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering popular activities such as horse riding, biking, and hiking with an extensive network of trails spanning hundreds of kilometres. Additionally, residents can enjoy water-centric activities like canoeing, water skiing, fishing, and swimming right in the local area.

As part of metro Vancouver, Maple Ridge is a mix of big city and mountain town with close proximity to Vancouver International Airport (38 kms) as well as a 15-minute drive from the pristine trails and camping of Golden Ears Provincial Park.

Fraser Health is pleased to share exciting news from CPSBC: updated eligibility bylaws are opening new pathways for International Medical Graduates to practice in BC, supporting your journey to a meaningful and impactful career with us.
