Kamloops

Set amid sandstone canyons, rolling grasslands, and magnificent evergreen woods, Kamloops is a flourishing city of 100,000 with an energetic character set against a stunning natural setting.

Known for our welcoming spirit, our city has earned its moniker as the Tournament Capital of Canada, offering big city amenities including excellent eateries, unique shops and exceptional recreation facilities. We take immense pride in our dynamic arts community, and annual events including the Kamloops Film Festival, Wildlights at the BC Wildlife Park, and Music in the Park.

With eight beautiful provincial parks and over 100 lakes nearby, our city offers fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities like fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking and camping. With mountain, parkland and desert fairways dotting the landscape here, we’re fast becoming Canada’s premier golf destination. Come winter, Sun Peaks Resort transforms into a mecca for skiers and snowboarders, just a quick 45-minute drive out of the city.

With 300 sun-filled days and the warmest people you’ll ever meet, Kamloops is the perfect spot to set down roots and live life with passion.

The RIH IM team provides extensive inpatient and outpatient services, offering a dynamic and rewarding environment for physicians who thrive on meaningful, varied clinical work. There is an inpatient ward for internal medicine MRP patients with collaborative care from a multidisciplinary team, and general internists also provide care to the Step Down Unit/high acuity unit for more complex and acute patients requiring higher level monitoring. An inpatient internal medicine consultative service also provides support to other specialties, ensuring broad exposure to diverse clinical presentations.

General internists provide 4–5 call per month with an interesting and varied patient population and are well supported with separate call schedules for ICU, Cardiology, Nephrology and Gastroenterology. The team is engaged in extensive hospital based clinics including a rapid access internal medicine clinic, a perioperative medicine service, diabetes clinic, exercise stress tests, supervision of myocardial perfusion imaging, a vascular disease risk factor modification clinic, and interpretation of ECGs. A shared private outpatient clinic also provides community support for patients requiring longer term follow up, adding further variety to your practice.
