PSYCHIATRISTS

QUALIFICATIONS, EDUCATION AND SKILLS

Two opportunities are available for General Adult Psychiatrists. Those interested in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry are also welcome.

You will be part of our team of Psychiatrists providing service to KBRH’s 12-bed general adult inpatient unit, consults to the medical/surgical units, and the emergency department, as well as maintaining a community-based practice.

Duties will include, but not be limited to, patient assessment and treatment, collaboration with clinicians and managers, and assistance with the development and maintenance of appropriate programs, policies, and procedures. Our team strives to provide quality psychiatric care to residents throughout the Kootenay Boundary region and there are opportunities to engage in outreach to outlying communities and provide telehealth services. Opportunities are also available for those with a desire to pursue an administrative leadership role or further develop a sub-specialty area of interest, such as addictions. In addition, in this position, you can enjoy teaching with locally placed UBC students and Family Medicine residents.

For a Psychiatrist with additional Child and Youth background, there is an opportunity for a diverse practice. The Child Psychiatrist will work collaboratively with inpatient psychiatry, Community Mental Health Centres, and in consultation with our community-based service partners.
