Campbell River General (CRG) in Campbell River, British Columbia is a 105 bed acute care hospital, established October 2017.

Currently, CRG has a blend of family practice groups and inpatient care lines, who admit and manage their own patients. Each physician provides care for approximately 17-25 patients. Shift lengths are 5 to 7 days. Scheduling is flexible. Responsibilities include providing family medicine care to unattached and unassigned inpatients at CRG. While you are working, you are on home-call overnight and when available, you work with a UBC resident. The physician will report to the Division Head of Family Practice for their professional responsibilities.

The physician will work alongside colleagues in Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, community Family Medicine, Geriatric Psychiatry, General Surgery, Internal Medicine (general and sub-specialty who cover the 6 bed ICU), Obstetrics/Gynecology, Orthopedics, Palliative care, Pediatrics, Radiology (U/S, CT, MRI, ECHO), and Addictions Medicine.
