full time Family Practice at St. John Hospital
Vanderhoof, British Columbia
Job ID: 16578

Join an outstanding medical community and be a part of a progressive team at St. John’s Hospital in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of British Columbia. This very collegial group of general practitioners enjoy:

• a focus on work-life balance
• excellent opportunities for GP enhanced skills development
• 8 weeks of holiday and 2 weeks of CME annually (no locum coverage required)
• a progressive EMR practice (MOIS) with a focus on patient quality and sustainable rural health care

The successful candidate will enjoy at least 1-2 GPA days/week, while also working in a thriving General practice, and participating with hospital based work activities which include ER shifts, in-patients, and other opportunities (cardiac stress testing, scopes, etc). With regular in-house simulation activities and educational opportunities, there are many options to grow in your desired areas of clinical and academic interests. Outside the OR, the GPA services are utilized in the ER for sedation, critical care, and obstetrical services as well.

This team of GP’s and GP specialists work in a collaborative team to support each other in clinical and academic activities to provide the best level of patient care in the North. This opportunity would be excellent for a new graduate seeking rural experience because of the added benefit and support of GP specialists and technology that most rural hospitals do not have.
