Come work as Emergency Physician with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)!

Richmond Hospital is a busy 200+ bed community teaching hospital in the heart of the culturally diverse city of Richmond, BC. It is near the Vancouver airport and a short 20-minute drive to downtown Vancouver. We are apart of Vancouver Coastal Health and we see approximately 58,000 ED visits per year. The hospital is fully supported by most services and within very close proximity to those services not on-site. In the Emergency Department, we currently have 34 permanent members as well as locums on staff and have 11 scheduled shifts per day. We see a diverse mix of both adult and paediatric patients. We are looking for interested emergency physicians to join our group as permanent member with a long term view.

So, why consider us?

• We are an engaged, collegial group with extremely supportive members. New grads are very welcome and encouraged to apply.
• Scheduling is fair, transparent and unbiased and allows physicians to balance their home and work lives.
• We offer a very active education program (Journal Club, Education Rounds, M&M Rounds, fortnightly Mock Codes).
• We also have a voluntary sabbatical program! This allows full-time members to take off one to two months every few years if you choose to participate.
• We are a very well-respected group within our hospital. Over the years, we have fostered an excellent rapport with other departments and also maintain a healthy relationship with Administration.
