Emergency Medicine Physician – Full Time Join Health Match BC to apply for the Emergency Medicine role. Role and Facility Information Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) and Eagle Ridge Hospital (ERH) are seeking full‑time Emergency Physicians to join our physician group (Columbia Emergency Physicians Association). Successful applicants will have CCFP(EM) or FRCPC(EM) certification and will be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia. PALS or APLS certification within five years is also required for work within the region. ABEM certified applicants are also eligible. Previous experience in a high‑volume, high‑acuity Emergency Department is preferable, as is work experience with trauma and pediatric populations. ATLS or other trauma‑based certification (e.g., STRUC) is highly recommended. Priority will be given to those applicants with experience and/or interest in research, quality improvement, physician leadership, education, simulation, and geriatric emergency medicine. We are looking to hire applicants who will contribute to increasing the diversity of our sites, and EDI (equity, diversity, and inclusivity) principles guide hiring practices for our departments. Compensation Compensation for a full‑time Emergency Physician (~13 shifts per month) is approximately $400,000+ per year. Locum/temporary work opportunities are also available. Work Environment & Schedule Our collegial, cohesive group of emergency physicians now numbers approximately 70 and is one of the largest in the country. Scheduling is flexible and accommodates many different physician preferences for shift distribution. The group has established maternity/paternity leave policies, vacation and senior‑member plans, and an option for sabbaticals for interested physicians. Clinical practice between RCH and ERH is highly enjoyable given the variety provided by the two sites and the diverse populations that present from throughout the Fraser Health region. Education & Teaching Royal Columbian Hospital hosts two residents per year in the FRCP Emergency Medicine training program at UBC. As a physician at RCH/ERH you will be expected to attain a faculty appointment in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and will teach residents and UBC medical students on shift. Opportunities exist for further involvement in education in both undergraduate and postgraduate medicine at UBC.
