Comox, Canada Island Health Full time

The Comox Valley Campus of the North Island Hospital in the beautiful and family-friendly Comox Valley is seeking a full-time General Internal Medicine specialist. Applicants must hold Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada (FRCPC) certification or equivalent, and be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia.

The successful applicant will join a collegial group of internists which will include (when current recruitment is complete) 9 general internists, 2 GIM/Intensivists, 2 respirologists, an endocrinologist, and a gastroenterologist. Clinical duties will include inpatient GIM coverage including weeks of telemetry unit coverage. The ICU weekly rotation is fully subscribed, so regular ICU shifts are not a part of this job posting at this time. Participation in the medicine call schedule is mandatory with a 1:9 frequency of night call which includes cross-covering the community-level ICU. Overnight call is supported by MOCAP funding, and it is not required to remain on-site overnight. Candidates will also be expected to engage in an outpatient general internal medicine practice to support the growing need for internal medicine services in our community. There will be opportunity to participate in interpreting hospital-based ECGs, Holter monitors, and Exercise Stress tests.

In addition to clinical duties, the successful applicants will work with hospital administration and their colleagues to support local educational activities including teaching the UBC medical students, Family Practice residents, and Internal Medicine residents. There will be opportunities to participate in coordinating multidisciplinary quality improvement initiatives. Candidates may qualify for recruitment incentives through the Ministry of Health Rural Subsidy Agreement.

We look forward to receiving applications from a qualified physician who would seriously consider making the Comox Valley their home. In the interim, locum opportunities may also be available, which would afford an opportunity to experience Comox first-hand.

May be eligible for additional remuneration in accordance with the Rural Subsidy agreement including (subject to change):

  • Fee Premium - 6.93%
  • Annual Flat Fee - $7,977.42
  • Recruitment Incentive - $10,000
  • Relocation Costs - up to a maximum of $15,000
  • Rural CME: Years 3 & 4 - $3000/annum; after 4 years: $6000/annum

Comox Valley Hospital is a 154 bed acute care facility opened in 2017, managed by the Vancouver Island Health Authority. This new facility includes a closed 8-bed ICU and a 10-bed telemetry unit. In order to support our growing community, the Comox Valley Hospital is looking to expand internal medicine capacity.
