Live your dream in vibrant small-town BC! Are you hoping to practice as a Internal Medicine Specialist at an exemplary hospital in an amazingly varied community of less than 20,000? Powell River, British Columbia is a small, beautiful Oceanside city. Whether you’re a mountain biker, sailor, part-time artist or musician, Powell River is the answer. Looking for a great place to raise a family? We have a diverse selection of quality schools.
We are in great need of locum GIM support at qathet General Hospital (Powell River).

We currently provide 24/7 IM and ICU coverage with 3 internists, but will be down to only 2 internists providing call services starting January 2024. While we await a new hire, we can continue providing weekday coverage, but at this time are urgently looking for any locum support to cover Friday/Saturday/Sundays.
Typical call days can see between 2-5 consults from the ward and emergency room, including cardiac patients (ACS, thrombolysing STEMI’s, arrhythmias etc.), critically ill patients (sepsis/pressors, patients requiring intubation etc.), as well as seeing TIA/strokes including thrombolysing hot strokes, in addition to usual GIM array of consults. You will be supported with local GP Anesthesiology for airway management, as well as local ERP support.
VCH is offering a guaranteed daily income of $3200/24 hrs with travel and accommodation reimbursement. You can get here via short 30 minute flights with either Pacific Coastal (YVR South terminal) or via Harbour Air Seaplane from downtown Vancouver. Alternatively we are a 6 hour total travel time by road/2 ferries via Horseshoe Bay. Please reach out if you are interested or have any questions about our site or scope of care we provide.
