Williams Lake
Located in BC's Central Interior, Williams Lake sits in the heart of the Cariboo Chilcotin region, home to the famous annual Stampede. Serving a population of approximately 35,000, the area is part of the broader Cariboo Regional District, which encompasses 62,000 residents. With its many lakes, rivers, and extensive hiking and biking trails, Williams Lake and the surrounding area provide an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts to camp, fish, hunt, and play during the summer months. In the winter, residents and visitors alike enjoy snowmobiling, skiing, snowboarding, and ice fishing. Williams Lake has something for everyone!
Practice Details:
This is an excellent opportunity for a pediatrician to join a practice with supportive and collegial services in beautiful, friendly Williams Lake. Discover the rewards of career satisfaction working in a strong culture of teamwork while delivering excellence in care in a small town community with an abundance of outdoor activities!
You will enjoy a busy and exciting practice working with another pediatrician and alongside an excellent team of caring allied health professionals at the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre. Additionally, you will provide general acute, neonatal (34 weeks and above), ER and consultant work to patients and their families at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. A general pediatric background with an interest in developmental and behavioural pediatrics would be especially suitable.
The CMH redevelopment project is well underway. By the end of 2026, we'll have an expanded emergency department with 23 treatment spaces, a medical-surgical inpatient unit with 36 beds, and a mental health unit featuring 8 single-occupancy rooms. As the project moves toward completion in 2029, enhancements across the hospital will include an upgraded maternity and women's health unit, expanded oncology and ambulatory care services, and a new academic space for the UBC Faculty of Medicine.
For those interested, Leadership Development Opportunities are available with Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program. The NAVIG8 Emerging Physician Leaders Program is a comprehensive leadership development program designed specifically for physicians to address the practical leadership knowledge, behaviours and skills that high potential, emerging medical leaders require to step into leadership roles early in their careers.
