The Provincial Medical Genetics Program provides genetic services within British Columbia and has a long tradition of excellence in clinical care, education, and research.

The Clinical Geneticist will participate fully in University of British Columbia academic teaching and training activities and undertake or actively collaborate in medical genetics and genomics research.

Salary and faculty appointment will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre (BCW) is the only facility in British Columbia devoted primarily to the health of women, newborns and families.

It provides a broad range of specialized women's health services that address the health needs of women of all ages and backgrounds.

BC Women's is one of the largest maternity facilities in Canada, with over 7,000 births a year, and is both the major primary and secondary maternity services provider in the Lower Mainland and the cornerstone of the provincial tertiary care system.

As an academic health centre BCW's mandate includes providing strong leadership in research and the education and professional development of health care professionals in areas related to the health of the populations we serve.

BCW is part of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), which plans, manages and evaluates selected specialty and province-wide health care services across BC.

PHSA embodies values that reflect a commitment to excellence.

These include:
Respect people - Be compassionate - Dare to innovate - Cultivate partnerships - Serve with purpose.

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.

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

The BC Governments' unanimous passage 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 lasting reconciliation.

True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
