Primarily sited at Vancouver General Hospital, the candidate will participate in all aspects of Kidney Transplant care delivery, from preassessment, workup, adjudication, perioperative management, living kidney donation, living and deceased donor kidney transplantation, combined organ transplantation, postoperative management of the donor and recipient, and long term followup of both donor and recipient populations. The candidate will be familiar with allocation protocols and participate in deceased donor case workup as well as allocation of organs and deceased donor multiorgan procurement as part of regular duties.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong work ethic and excellent multidisciplinary team based acumen, working with transplant Nephrology, other transplant Clinical Transplant Services, allied health and more.
