Make a difference where every second counts. If you're a stroke neurologist dedicated to the fast-paced, decisive world of stroke care, KGH is where you belong. Join our highly collegial team of talented professionals at Kelowna General Hospital’s Stroke Network.
The KGH stroke team serves as the main referral hub for Interior Health, with a catchment population of approximately one million people. Each year, we manage approximately 2,000 acute ischemic strokes and perform over 120 endovascular procedures. Our Stroke Program has achieved some of the best outcomes in Canada, providing residents of the BC Interior with the care they need. With a long history of virtual care, we support the entire continuum of stroke management across the region.
Our group of 11 includes stroke, movement disorders, headache, and neuromuscular specialists, as well as general neurologists. Complementing this team, we have five specialized stroke nurses and a dedicated stroke unit. Our integrated team environment emphasizes program development and innovative service delivery. If you’re comfortable managing all aspects of complex stroke care and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in rural and remote areas, we want to hear from you.
Here, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the rewards of clinical teaching, working with 3rd- and 4th-year medical students from the UBC Southern Medical Program. You’ll also engage with Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine residents and visiting residents from other locations. Beyond teaching, our team participates in multiple stroke trials, both nationally and locally, while developing innovative solutions for underrepresented rural and remote populations.
Leadership development opportunities are available through Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program.
