Role and Facility Information

Kamloops:

Kamloops is a vibrant city of 100,000, at the northern extension of productive wine country in south central British Columbia. We sit in the middle of lakes, mountains, ski hills, and river systems. We enjoy biking, hiking, skiing, water sports, all right here in our backyard. Our community has an excellent educational system, organized sports, music and theatre. There are amenities not often found in smaller urban centres. University affiliations provide rejuvenation and an atmosphere to keep learning.

Practice Details:

Interior Health has a new opportunity for a team-oriented and highly skilled general urologist to join our current group of three urologists in Kamloops at the Royal Inland Hospital (RIH). The successful candidate will have a strong work ethic, excellent interpersonal skills, and a commitment to providing quality patient care.

This role has a mix of hospital and private clinic responsibilities. This position will work predominantly with the adult population but may see pediatric urology patients as well. This team serves a large geographical area, including Kamloops, Merritt, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, and Salmon Arm. There is one day per week scheduled for the OR in Kamloops, plus access to Salmon Arm once a month. Also, you would have one day a week in the ambulatory care area (cystoscopy) and would be expected to travel to 100 Mile House nine times a year for cystoscopy. The typical hours for this position are 0800–1600. Travel time to Salmon Arm and 100 Mile House is funded.

For those interested, Leadership Development Opportunities are available with Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program. The NAVIG8 Emerging Physician Leaders Program is a comprehensive leadership development program designed specifically for physicians to address the practical leadership knowledge, behaviours, and skills that high potential, emerging medical leaders require to step into leadership roles early in their careers.

It is strongly recommended that candidates visit Kamloops to meet the group, tour the hospital, and experience Kamloops. Opportunities for electives or locums will be available and are also recommended.
