Role and Facility Information
Richmond is a diverse ‘young’ city thriving with families in all stages of life. It is located just south of Vancouver, BC. The Richmond School Program is located on Blundell Road behind Blundell Elementary School in Richmond. Assessments and evidence-informed treatments are provided to children in conjunction with their families as well as school-based personnel. A good knowledge of child relational/developmental/psycho therapeutic theory and practice is essential. Prescription and monitoring of medications will be provided as needed. Collaboration with other community service providers, such as teachers and school counsellors, is essential. RSP team members function together as a “Working Group”, with an expectancy to collaborate reflectively.
RSP is closely linked to the UBC Faculty of Medicine, and innovates and collaborates in educational and research projects.
The psychiatrists may also be involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation of new programs and will participate in the training and education of medical students, residents and other allied health professionals. Opportunities may exist for research projects and group work.
All physicians working in the Richmond Department of Psychiatry are required to participate in the on-call roster.
