Job Summary

Organizational Status


The vision of the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine is to be a provincially integrated Department committed to clinical and academic leadership in the creation and exchange of knowledge to promote excellence in emergency care.

Our 600+ faculty members across the province have had an impressive record of research and discovery.

Our research and innovation initiatives include 14 successful programs related to prevention of emergencies, improving clinical care, and system improvements.

Our Emergency Medicine Royal College residency training program, distributed across 4 program sites, is the largest in the country.

The Department of Emergency Medicine has also played a leadership role in the development and implementation of an Emergency Medicine Network across the province, designed to integrate and translate knowledge to support exceptional emergency care.

It provides a rapid and effective avenue to exchange knowledge and experiences to support 1400 practitioners in 108 sites across the province.


The research program has four years of Health Canada funding and is of interest to numerous provincial and national stakeholders.

Substance and opioid use research is one of the key strategic initiatives of the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine.

The research will focus on emergency department screening for patients with substance and opioid use disorders, identification of risk factors among these patients (including patterns and frequency of visits), treatment of overdose (e.g., naloxone and resuscitation approaches), and optimizing management approaches including provision of buprenorphine/naloxone (standard dosing and microdosing) to emergency department patients at risk for overdose.

This position reports directly to the Principal Investigator (PI), but the nature of the work requires independent action.

The incumbent has frequent interaction and collaboration with other research team members and with external collaborators including policy makers, data custodians, patient advocates, people with lived experience with substance use, medical students, residents and healthcare professionals both within and outside the Department of Emergency Medicine to plan and conduct research, manage data, and analyze results.
