Description

Seeking Emergency physicians for part-time and full-time locum coverage at Cowichan District Hospital. We are a group of enthusiastic ED physicians with CCFP-EM and FRCP certification. Our Emergency Department sees around visits per day. In addition to regular Emergency Department shifts, we also have a Rapid Access and Diagnostic Virtual Unit (RADU), which manages patients meeting strict criteria who are likely to be discharged within 24hrs of admission. The RADU physician also supports the Emergency Department. We have double coverage from 09:00 to 01:00 every day and triple coverage from 11- .

We are looking for someone to work Emergency Department shifts - Day, Afternoon, Early Evening, Late Evening and Overnight, as well as RADU shifts. We are affiliated with the University of British Columbia's Island Medical Program and participate in teaching medical students and residents. We are also the pre-deployment readiness site for military physicians and PAs.

The Cowichan medical community is tightly knit, with great collegial relationships across the acute and community settings, and an active and engaged Division of Family Practice and Medical Staff Association. As a physician group, we are excited to be actively involved in planning for the new Cowichan District Hospital, which will feature state of the art equipment and design, is expected to be completed in and will bring added inpatient capacity ( beds, operational at opening) as well as expanded OR and ICU capacity.
