General Practitioner in Oncology
Regular, Part-time or Full-Time (up to 1.0 FTE)
BC Cancer - Kelowna is looking for a General Practitioner in Oncology to join its Kamloops Satellite Clinic team, located in British Columbia’s beautiful Southern Interior Region. Reporting to the Department Head of Medical Oncology at BC Cancer – Kelowna, the GPO will be part of a well-established team of Medical Oncologists and GPO’s in Kamloops, and more broadly, within the provincial structure for oncology care.
Working with a team of specialized medical oncologists and allied health professionals at this centre, you will participate exclusively in the care of oncology patients. As a GPO, you would participate in the treatment and follow up of patients after curative and palliative treatment planning, as well as potentially in clinical trials. There is a large and growing GPO network regionally and provincially, providing excellent opportunities for networking and education.
However, the opportunity is flexible and could be offered to more than one candidate who is interested in working in the role part-time on a permanent basis. Service contract and salary options are available.
Equally fantastic as a summer destination for water sports, beaches, golfing, plus year-round outdoor pursuits like fishing, hiking, and camping, Kamloops offers opportunities to make the most of the hot summer climate. With a small town feel and big city amenities, Kamloops' lifestyle perfect for families and those looking for adventure, and it comes with a “side” of urban convenience through a vibrant arts and culture scene, plenty of shopping venues, wineries, craft breweries, and tempting cuisine at local restaurants and cafés. Kamloops is conveniently located a 3-hour drive to Vancouver (depending on weather conditions), with air travel out of Kamloops Regional Airport.
If you have no prior experience as a GPO, BC Cancer will support your training, involving both didactic virtual teaching, and in-clinic patient-related instruction.
Commitment to upholding the shared responsibility of creating lasting and meaningful reconciliation in Canada as per TRC (2015) and BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019).

Your application will be reviewed immediately. That’s why we’re focused on your care too – offering health, wellness, development programs to support you – at work and at home.
Access to professional development opportunities through our in-house training programs, including +2,000 courses, such as our San’yas Indigenous Cultural Safety Training course, or Core Linx for Leadership roles.

BC Cancer is part of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA).
The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) plans, manages and evaluates specialized health services with the BC health authorities to provide equitable and cost-effective health care for people throughout the province. PHSA and BC Cancer are committed to equity in our hiring and employment practices. One of PHSA’s North Star priorities is to eradicate Indigenous-specific racism, which includes dismantling barriers to health care employment at every level. We welcome Indigenous individuals to apply and/or contact the Sanya'kula Team (Indigenous Recruitment & Employee Experience) for support.
Indigenous-specific anti-racism initiatives are rooted in addressing the unique forms of discrimination, historical and ongoing injustices, and marginalization faced by Indigenous peoples. These initiatives align with an Indigenous rights-based approach, recognizing the inherent rights and self-determination of Indigenous communities. PHSA must uphold legislative obligations and provincial commitments found in the foundational documents such as including Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action (2015), In Plain Sight (2020), BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019), United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Reclaiming Power and Place Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls Calls for Justice (2019), the Declaration Act Action Plan and Remembering Keegan: Relocation Funding Available $To be determined
