The University of British Columbia (UBC) is Canada's third largest university and consistently ranks among the 40 best universities in the world.

Primarily situated in Vancouver, UBC is a research-intensive university and has an economic impact of $4 billion to the provincial economy.

The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a mixed surgical/medical unit that includes an active cardiac program, including ECMO and neurosurgical intensive care.

There are over 1200 admissions annually. The PICU is a state-of-the-art 28-bed unit located within the Teck Acute Care Centre.

As a leader in the field and a member of the dedicated team of critical care specialists, your prime responsibility will be direct clinical patient care of critically ill children in the PICU, as well as support of their families.

You will also be responsible for providing outreach critical care advice and support both within the Emergency Department and inpatient wards, and beyond.

Preference will be given to applicants with previous critical care experience and hold a medical degree from an approved LCME school, along with current licensure to practice in British Columbia.

Further subspecialty training or certification in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Pediatric Anesthesia or Pediatric Emergency Medicine are considered assets.
