Vancouver, Canada PHSA Full time

**Physician with Background in Substance Use Treatment**

**Department of Psychiatry**

**BC Children’**s Hospital**

**University of British Columbia**

**Vancouver, BC Canada**

The Department of Psychiatry is seeking a physician experienced in working with youth and families struggling with risky substance use to join our expanding substance use service at British Columbia Children’s Hospital (BCCH). The Substance Use Response and Facilitation (SURF) Team works across the BCCH site to provide sub-specialty care to children and youth who use drugs and alcohol.

As a consulting physician, you will work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team. Clinical work will include the assessment and treatment of substance use disorders, with or without mental health disorders. Treatment includes management of intoxication and withdrawal. Care is provided to patients in the Emergency Department, during inpatient hospitalization, and in our ambulatory services. Providing support to the medical, emergency, ambulatory and community teams will also be an important priority. Within the SURF team, physicians contribute to the provision of evidence-based care in a trauma-informed approach to reduce the risk of patient-initiated discharges. In future, physicians will also participate in care for patients referred to the outpatient SURF clinic currently being developed as part of our SURF program expansion. Indirect patient care through telephone or virtual support of professional caregivers in community will be provided through the BCCH Compass Program. All direct and indirect care is provided in-person, via virtual modalities, or a combination of both. This physician role is primarily clinical and remunerated by a service contract with flexibility in hours. Previous experience in the assessment, treatment and family support for children and youth experiencing substance use issues is essential. Experience with OAT prescribing is desirable. The BCCH Department of Psychiatry is an active teaching program and supervision of medical students, pediatric and psychiatry residents and fellows, and adolescent medicine fellows is expected.

**Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Interested individuals should submit their most current CV; covering letter and the names, academic rank and contact information of 4 referees to**:

**About Provincial Health Services Authority**

**BC Children's Hospital (BCCH)** cares for the province's most acutely ill and injured children and young people and provides developmental and rehabilitation services throughout BC. BCCH also operates a wide number of specialized health programs, is a leading acute care teaching facility, and conducts research to advance health and care through the **BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute** and in partnership with the **University of British Columbia**.

**BCCH** is a program of the **Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA)**, which plans, manages, and evaluates selected specialty and province-wide health care services across BC. PHSA embodies values that reflect a commitment to excellence. These include:
Patients first - Best value - Results matter - Excellence through knowledge - Open to possibilities.

**The University of British Columbia (UBC)** is Canada’s third largest university and consistently ranks among the 40 best universities in the world. Primarily situated in Vancouver, UBC is a research-intensive university and has an economic impact of $4 billion to the provincial economy.

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.
