Neurology

Position Overview

We are seeking a General Neurologist to join the Department of Internal Medicine at the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia.

We currently have two full-time clinical Neurologists. In addition to clinical practice (hospital inpatient consults, on-call, and ambulatory care), there are excellent opportunities to become involved in teaching, as we are closely affiliated with the Northern Medical Program (University of British Columbia), based in Prince George.

We have state‑of‑the‑art CT and MRI facilities, a well‑established neuro‑electrophysiology lab, a Memory Clinic, a Multiple Sclerosis Clinic, and opportunities to develop stroke and epilepsy programs.

Responsibilities

• Participate in an on‑call schedule and provide hospital consults.
• Provide ambulatory care.
• Engage in teaching for medical students and residents.
• Develop stroke and epilepsy programs as opportunities arise.

Clinical Environment

The University Hospital for Northern British Columbia serves the Prince George population (approx. 80,000) and is a referral centre for outlying communities (total population approx. 400,000). It is a main teaching centre for medical students in the Northern Medical Program and provides teaching for UBC residents in several specialties.

The Department of Internal Medicine has 20 members, with sub‑specialties including Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Infectious Disease, Respirology, Neurology, Dermatology, Rheumatology, and Endocrinology. The department provides many specialty services including dialysis, endoscopic ultrasound, bronchoscopy, echocardiography (including transesophageal), and has potential to develop new services. A fully equipped Intensive Care Unit operates as a Closed Unit for physician staffing, involving many Internists. The BC Cancer Centre for the North is situated on the hospital site and includes radiation and medical oncology services. The ongoing development as a regional and teaching centre makes this an exciting time to join the medical community.
