A high level of collaboration is used for management of patients through recovery, rehabilitation, as possible, reintegration into the community. As part of the Forensic Psychiatric Services, medical professional team members provide specialized forensic psychiatric and psychological assessment and treatment services to the courts, the BC Review Board, and to the custody and community branches of BC Corrections.

Forensic Psychiatrist, Forensic Psychiatric Hospital/Regional Clinics
Forensic Psychiatrist, Forensic Assertive Community Treatment Team (FACT)
Forensic Psychiatrist, Community Transitional Care Program (CTC)

Knowledge Exchange
Support the ongoing education of the Forensic Psychiatry team through sharing your extensive hands-on experience and background in treating complex clinical problems.
Cross-appointments as faculty at the University of British Columbia are encouraged, with aim to further the knowledge of mental health treatment in the forensic population across the province.

About Provincial Health Services Authority
The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) plans, manages and evaluates specialized health services with the BC health authorities to provide equitable and cost-effective health care for people throughout the province. Our values reflect our commitment to excellence and include: Respect people - Be compassionate - Dare to innovate - Cultivate partnerships - Serve with purpose.

PHSA and BCMHSUS are committed to employment equity, encouraging all qualified individuals to apply. We recognize that our ability to provide the best care for our diverse patient populations relies on a rich diversity of skills, knowledge, background and experience, and value a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.
Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us. The BC Governments' unanimous passage of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to lasting reconciliation. True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
