Why Fraser Health?:
The Department of Medicine at Peace Arch Hospital (PAH) is recruiting two full-time General Internal Medicine (GIM) specialists for a predominantly inpatient practice covering the ICU, cardiac telemetry, and medical ward. PAH is a busy and rapidly growing community hospital in White Rock, British Columbia. The site is undergoing significant expansion, with a new ER and OR recently completed and a state-of-the-art ICU and telemetry unit currently under construction.
Successful candidates will join a collaborative GIM group practice. Responsibilities include hospital consultations (across most subspecialties), ICU, and telemetry coverage. The ICU includes seven beds and supports up to two ventilated patients. Physicians rotate every six weeks to cover daytime service (0800–1700, Monday to Sunday). On-call coverage is MOCAP Level I (1700–0800), typically 4–5 calls per month and every 7th weekend. Additional call shifts may be available.
Preference will be given to candidates willing to establish a community clinic for consults and follow-ups. Full-time physicians will also have the opportunity to participate in outpatient services provided by the Cardiology and Internal Medicine Rapid Access Clinic.
Applicants must be eligible for FRCPC (Internal Medicine) and licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC (CPSBC). Strong General Internal Medicine experience is essential. Candidates must be proficient in community ICU care, including intubation, central and femoral line insertion, chest tube placement, paracentesis, and lumbar puncture. Additional skills such as point-of-care ultrasound, pacemaker interrogation, teaching, leadership, or administrative experience are considered assets.
