Role and Facility Information
Do you want to be part of our new and exciting post graduate up to 6 month nurse practitioner (NP) residency program? The Surrey Memorial Hospital is a BC center of Excellence prime for the Acute care NP Residency program due to the multitude of program and services it offers. You will receive in depth in house advanced training within a clinical area relevant to General Surgery, improve your team collaboration and develop a model of patient centred care. This is a competency-based residency and mentorship program to support the development of new NP knowledge related to the General Surgery program and building on competencies for NP practice. FH is the first health authority to implement a formal residency program for NPs in the province, which will be key to supporting the development of NPs and practice-readiness in select programs.
As General surgery is a highly specialized area of practice, the residency will consist of dedicated time for both didactic learning and hands-on clinical experiences. The NP will gradually be orientated to the General surgery program at SMH while they are completing their residencies.
Examples of in-house residency rotations: Internal Medicine, ICU, Cardiology, Thoracic Surgery, and Orthopedic Surgery.
During your residency, you’ll receive:
Mentorship in multiple clinical areas
Dedicated clinical supervision during clinical placements
Protected time for self directed learning relevant to your clinical practice
Coaching from a consistent experienced nurse practitioner throughout your residency
Individualized support in transitioning to independent provider
