Excellent opportunity for a General Radiologist with fellowship training in Cardiac imaging to join the team at Kelowna General Hospital (KGH). We currently have a mix of 17 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, including one each with cardiac and chest fellowship training. KGH has a busy and expanding cardiac program. We perform a broad spectrum of cardiac CT and MRI to support robust and growing cardiac surgery, general cardiology, interventional cardiology, TAVR, electrophysiology and vascular surgery practices. At the hospital we have 3 CT scanners, 1MRi (currently), and interventional fluoroscopy suite, and perform digital mammography. At our 3 clinics we perform X-ray, ultrasound, bone mineral density, and diagnostic mammography. Our procedural requirements for our diagnostic radiologists are predominantly biopsies and drainages. All vascular intervention, nephrostomy tubes, and complex biliary work are handled by the IR team. KGH is also a teaching centre affiliated with UBC. We encourage our team to participate in teaching both residents and medical students with the UBC Medical Program. We encourage locum opportunities throughout the recruitment process. We are excited to add new graduates or experienced radiologists to our team. ***In accordance with the Order of the Provincial Health Officer for Hospital and Community, full vaccination against COVID-19 is a condition of employment for all employees and healthcare workers with Interior Health.
