Role and Facility Information

Island Health’s North Vancouver Island Psychiatrist Services has an opening for a full-time General Psychiatrist. The successful applicant will provide the following services:

Location: Campbell River Hospital

Time: Part time (approximately 4 hours), 2-4 days per week, Monday-Friday

The psychiatrist will provide consultation liaison referrals from GPs and specialists on inpatients in medicine/surgery/obs/gyn who require psychiatric assessment. All admitted patients will have an assigned MRP for continuity of care prior to consultative input by the psychiatrist. Upon discharge, community connections for follow-up will occur, such as through MHSU. The psychiatrist will collaborate with MHSU staff for continuity of care.

This position will be shared with other psychiatrists for up to 5 half-day coverage at the site. For planned absences, the psychiatric team at CRH will provide coverage on all weekdays. Outside of these hours, telephone advice will be provided by the North Island psychiatrists call schedule.

Location: Community of Campbell River/North Island

Service: Collaborative Care Consultations, MHSU consultations (ASTAT and ACSS), North Island psychiatric outreach

Time: Part Time (approximately 3-4 hours), 4-5 days per week, Monday-Friday

Collaborative Care Consultation will provide semi-urgent and ambulatory psychiatric service. An initial psychiatric consultation with limited options for longer-term follow-up will be offered. Referrals will be from Primary Care providers, occurring about 1 half-day weekly at Comox Valley Hospital Wellness Clinic or Campbell River Hospital.

Campbell River MHSU will work with community teams (ACSS and ASTAT) providing consultations and follow-up, which would be 1-2 half days per week supporting ACSS and could be flexed with rural outreach (see below) to teams (Gold River, Cortes, Quadra, Tahsis) via telehealth one clinic per month, exclusively with case-managed patients.

Location: Comox Valley Hospital

Inpatient Consultations and Follow-up: During planned absences of other psychiatrists, there is potential to assist with providing coverage with other psychiatrists in Comox Valley Hospital for inpatient care.

Electroconvulsive Therapy: Electroconvulsive therapy is provided by psychiatrists at Comox Valley Hospital. Six psychiatrists participate in the roster, which is on a one-week rotation. Participation in the roster is optional for this position if the candidate is primarily located in Campbell River.

On-call Duties: On-call duties are a part of this position and would occur only at the Comox Valley Hospital Site where the Psychiatric ward (15 open unit and 4 Psychiatric Intensive Care rooms) is located for the North Island. This would involve evening call (mostly over the phone) and weekend call, shared with a group of general adult psychiatrists and sub-specialists. There are currently twelve psychiatrists in the group.

The psychiatrist will work collaboratively with the Emergency Department, Primary Care, other specialist Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Midwives, the crisis team, and MHSU staff to provide consultation, develop treatment plans, and facilitate inpatient care when required as a consultant.

Responsibilities include:

  1. Educating nursing and MHSU staff regarding care plan development and supporting treatment plans.
  2. Providing psychiatric assessment, treatment, concurrent patient education, and follow-up as appropriate for patients.
  3. Completing appropriate clinical documents.
  4. Participating in case management meetings and clinical administration meetings.
  5. Liaising with other related community institutions and services.
  6. Participating in Quality Assurance projects.

May be eligible for additional remuneration in accordance with the Rural Subsidy agreement including:

  1. Retention Premium 6.09% on MSP and sessional billings
  2. Recruitment Incentive up to $10,000

Rural CME:

  1. New rural physician CME program Years 1 & 2: Reimbursement of the course fee for one course to a maximum of $1000 and reimbursement of travel/accommodation expenses
  2. Years 3 & 4: $3,000/annum
  3. After 4 years: $6,000/annum
