Come work as an Acute Care General Surgeon with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)

The Lions Gate Hospital Division of General Surgery is seeking a full-time acute care general surgeon to support the on-call and emergency services in the hospital as part of the Acute Care Surgery (ACS) Service.

Lions Gate Hospital is a recognized Level 3 trauma centre and a key acute care provider for a population exceeding 270,000 residents across the North Shore and Sea-to-Sky Country. We are rapidly expanding with the upcoming new Medical and Surgical Centre, which will further establish LGH as a specialized regional facility. There is a closed ICU, full anesthesia support, interventional radiology and supporting surgical specialties including plastics and urology on site. Our new facilities, including the Paul Myers Tower with 108 private patient rooms and eight new operating rooms, ensure we remain at the forefront of healthcare delivery in the VCH region.
