General Psychiatrist 200-1197
3 months ago
The Cowichan Valley Department of Psychiatry of Vancouver Island Health Authority (Island Health) is seeking part-time General Psychiatrist interested in joining the Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU) programs.
The Cowichan Valley supports a continuum of services including Cowichan District Hospital’s (CDH) 15 bed Psychiatry In-Patient Unit which works collaboratively with primary care providers.
Through Duncan’s Mental Health Substance Use programs, the successful candidate will consult to:
- Short Term Services (community Crisis Response and Brief interventions) through which the Psychiatry team provides part of the programs’ response to GP referrals.
- Case Management Services for moderate community support and a more intense ACT team (Assertive Community Treatment); plus, an Early Psychosis Intervention program.
- Substance Use programs which provide counselling and access to residential treatment. As well, the program is integrating with community responses to the opioid crisis.
- All programs and services are integrated with a graduated housing program that provides a range of support for people to live in the community who otherwise could not.
- Separate psychiatric services for seniors are provided by Island Health, and members of the Psychiatry team are able to participate in these services.
- Two tertiary psychiatry facilities exist in the Cowichan Valley as island-wide resources and are supported by the Duncan Psychiatrist team: Seniors tertiary care with 25 beds, and Adult tertiary care with 27 beds.
The MHSU program provides a modified psychiatrist on-call response with a crisis response team for the Cowichan District Hospital Emergency Department and everywhere throughout the hospital, connected to our consultation-liaison function. This can be supported by BC’s Medical On Call Availability Program (MOCAP) depending on level of service.
As Island Health is part of the UBC Faculty of Medicine Island Medical Program, there is an opportunity for training of medical students and residents, and applying for a clinical appointment is expected.
Participation in research is supported and can be facilitated by Island Health.
Administrative duties of the position include attending clinical team meetings and providing reports to the Department of Psychiatry meetings.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of psychiatry services within a brand new, state-of-the-art acute care campus. The new Cowichan District Hospital is expected to open in Fall of 2026. Psychiatry services will include a dedicated psychiatric emergency zone embedded in the Emergency Department. There will be a four-bed psychiatric intensive care unit and a 20-bed inpatient unit providing care to individuals in the Cowichan Valley.
Start Date: As soon as possible
Free shared office space, secretary, telephone, fax, and email.
