Physician - Mental Health and Substance Use Specialist

1 month ago


Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada Island Health Full time
About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for Physicians to provide care for patients with mental health and substance use concerns in a collaborative setting. Working alongside a supervising Psychiatrist, you will provide mental health services to patients in Nanaimo, conducting patient assessments and developing diagnosis and treatment plans.

The GP Psych service is operated through Island Health, Mental Health and Substance Use, with funding and supports from the Nanaimo Primary Care Network. Cerner is the Electronic Medical Record used to support patient care.

As a GP Psych Physician, you will be responsible for developing and managing your schedule, with contracted shifts for direct and indirect patient care expected to overlap with Psychiatrist's availability. There are no after-hours or on-call expectations, and no patient attachment expectations in this service.

About the Service

The GP Psych service is a collaborative effort between General Practitioners and Psychiatrists to provide mental health services to patients in Nanaimo. This supportive role has reduced the waitlist for Psychiatry significantly, allowing patients with more urgent/severe conditions to be seen by a psychiatrist in a timely manner.

Patients who need further urgent psychiatric care are booked directly with the Psychiatrist. The service is operated through Island Health, Mental Health and Substance Use, with funding and supports from the Nanaimo Primary Care Network.

What We Offer

Island Health is committed to providing a supportive and collaborative work environment for our Physicians. We offer a range of benefits and opportunities for professional development, including:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Opportunities for professional development and education
  • Collaborative and supportive work environment
  • Access to state-of-the-art technology and resources

We welcome applications from Physicians who are passionate about providing high-quality care to patients with mental health and substance use concerns. If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit your application through our website.
