Practice Details:

Are you ready for the role of a lifetime?

You’ll collaborate with fellow healthcare professionals, including discharge planning experts, community resources, and family physicians. Teamwork is key here, and we rely on electronic physician documentation to ensure clear plans, smooth patient handovers, and efficient rounding.

You’ll engage with UBC-Okanagan’s medical undergraduate and family residency programs. This opens up exciting doors for you to mentor and provide immersive clinical teaching to the next generation of healthcare practitioners. But that’s not all. We also encourage your involvement in projects focused on advancing Physician Quality Improvement (PQI). Your insights will fuel tangible change, creating an atmosphere of innovation and continuous progress.

As a cohesive team of hospitalists, we pride ourselves on promoting a vibrant work culture rooted in our core values: efficiency, adaptability, integrity, humour, and harmony.
