PRA-BC is an important element in BC’s physician human resource recruitment strategy.

The successful candidate may be permitted to work in a hybrid model (combination of in-office and flexible work location) and will live within commuting distance of our Vancouver office. This position will have a mandatory 3-month onsite/in office training period.
