This position, funded through a contract with the VCHA and the Alternative Payments Program of the BC Ministry of Health, is a family physician position providing urgent primary care in the UPCC within a team based care model.
Family physicians working in the UPCC will be expected to manage the entire range of acute primary care problems usually presenting to a family physicians office, including minor procedures such as suturing wounds, splinting injuries and responding to acute psychiatric or substance withdrawal scenarios. They will be comfortable with resuscitating and stabilizing a patient whose acute medical needs exceed the capability of the unit while awaiting transfer to an emergency room.
