Role and Facility Information

Up to $10,000 relocation bonus to move to Vancouver.

Please be advised that the Delta Emergency Physicians Association has received a substantial increase in funding and is hiring 6.0 FTE emergency physicians to work in Metro Vancouver’s Delta Hospital. Applications will be considered for both permanent and term positions and while start dates are negotiable we anticipate positions available starting any time from now through July 2024.

Historically all physicians in the Delta ED have possessed CCFP(EM), FRCP(C), or DABEM certification but due to the recent funding increase we are now in a position to hire CCFP only or GP physicians with emergency medicine experience. CCFP and GP applicants will also need up-to-date ACLS, ITLS or ATLS, APLS or PALS, and some advanced airway training/course. CPSBC US certified class of registration acceptable.
The Delta Hospital ED is located in the community of Ladner in South Delta, a 23-minute drive from downtown Vancouver or 50 minutes by SkyTrain/bus with almost all of our current physicians commuting from the City of Vancouver at shift times designed to avoid traffic congestion and to allow physicians to drive counter to the main traffic flow.

The Delta Hospital ED currently offers up to 72 hours of emergency physician coverage through nine shifts per day. Laboratory, x-ray, ultrasound, and CT are available 24 hours and on call services include hospitalists, internal medicine, general surgery, and orthopedic surgery. Our friendly on call consultants handle all admissions. The Emergency Department is a modern facility with one resuscitation/trauma bay, ten monitored acute care beds, seven fast-track bays and a twelve-bed observation unit. Advanced airway tools and four bedside ultrasound units are available.

Pay is determined by the provincial alternate payment plan agreement. Our full-time physicians, assuming no vacations, will be working slightly in excess of 1.0 FTE (1 340 hours direct care) and would expect an annual pre-tax income of $408 300 plus standard negotiated benefits. No billing, coding, or “shadow billing” is required. The Delta ED is an active teaching site regularly hosting both medical students and residents. Research support is available through Fraser Health and UBC. As a result of this funding increase and its retroactive nature we are allowing physicians to work when they want to and to an extent set their own schedule. In hospital work beyond scheduled hours is paid at $290 an hour which is schedule to be increased to $308 an hour.

The Delta ED has the highest patient satisfaction ratings of any ED in the region and consistently tops regional quality of care measures. Many physicians in the Delta ED have other professional commitments and family commitments and we have a very flexible scheduling policy.

If you are interested in applying for a position please submit:

• a curriculum vitae, and,

• the names and contact information of three professional references;
