Job description

We’re looking for a psychiatrist to join our team at Penticton Regional Hospital, offering a flexible and balanced practice in a supportive community setting in the South Okanagan Valley, surrounded by lakes, vineyards, and year-round outdoor recreation.

You will become part of a collegial and supportive group of four psychiatrists delivering comprehensive, patient-centered care. Our 16-bed Inpatient Psychiatric Unit provides acute mental health and substance use services within a modern, safe, and accessible facility. In addition, you will work alongside well-established outpatient and community-based programs, including Short Term Counselling, Community Case Management, Vocational Rehabilitation, Physical Activation, Anxiety and Depression services, DBT programming, Seniors Mental Health, and Rural Outreach, allowing for a diverse and fulfilling scope of practice across the continuum of care.
