BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services - Correctional Health Services

Regular Part-time

General Information

Correctional Health Services (CHS) is a province-wide, specialized program providing care for clients who are incarcerated in one of BC's 10 provincial correctional facilities. People who are incarcerated are often in poorer health than the general population, and are more likely to live with chronic illness. CHS is part of the
BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS) program under the
Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA). Treating adult clients across the province within the correctional centres, CHS provides health care services including medical and nursing care, primary care, mental health and substance use treatment support, basic emergency response services, opioid antagonist treatments and care, dentistry, and post-discharge supports. We believe everyone deserves a chance to access healthcare treatments and heal, and CHS offers a non-judgemental place to help make that happen.

Accountable to the Chief Medical Officer, BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services (BCMHSUS), and working closely with the program Medical Directors, the Medical Education Leads are responsible for leading BCMHSUS' in maintaining and developing profile of medical education, Continuing Medical Education/Continuing Professional Development (CME/CPD) initiatives and CME Working Group.

The Leads oversee the development and execution of all BCMHSUS education activities to meet the learning needs of Psychiatrists, Forensic Psychiatrists, Family Physicians, Trainees and other physician care providers.

In addition, Leads ensure the ongoing improvement of BCMHSUS' medically accredited programs.

We recognize that our ability to provide the best care for our diverse patient populations relies on a rich diversity of skills, knowledge, background and experience, and value a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us.

The BC Government unanimous passing of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act was a significant step forward in this journey—one that all health authorities are expected to support as we work in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples to establish a clear and sustainable path to meaningful and lasting reconciliation.

True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as we move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts PHSA must uphold legislative obligations and provincial commitments found in the foundational documents such as including Truth & Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action (2015), In Plain Sight (2020), BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019), United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Reclaiming Power and Place Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls Calls for Justice (2019), the Declaration Act Action Plan and
