Family Physician - Surgery

We are seeking a Family Physician with emergency room and GP Surgery skills to complement our existing team of physicians at our full service rural hospital in Lillooet. In a smaller supportive site such as our hospital, you will provide GP Surgery with the support of a GP Anesthetist. The GP Surgery call is after hours all days, but availability is flexible. ER work is a requirement as a part of a 24/7 group call system and regular GP clinic work is available. Our site is an R2 Family Practice teaching site. This position will be available by September 2020 but an earlier start date could be negotiated. In this position you will have an opportunity to help the surgical program grow within the province wide Rural Surgical and Obstetrical networks initiative. In addition to the provincial Rural Practice Program incentives noted below, the General Practitioners are entitled to 38 days rural locum coverage for vacation coverage. If you cover some ER shifts, there are additional funds from a Rural Emergency Enhancement fund. 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. Apply today to live work and play where others only vacation! It's better here!
