PRACTICE DETAILS:

Penticton Regional Hospital is looking to expand its Emergency Medicine group and is looking for certified individuals (Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada in Emergency Medicine or Certificate of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (Emergency Medicine)) to join our collegial team.
We have a great group of 18 emergency physicians from various backgrounds – including CCFP-EM and FP-EM, who support an average of 41,000 visits annually. There is very good specialist support available and double physician coverage for most of the day and evening hours. PRH has excellent radiology availability with on-site Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We are also a Regional Trauma Referral Centre.
We are proud to be actively involved in collaboration with the University of British Columbia’s Southern Medical Program, and you will have the opportunity to make an impact on 4th year medical students as well as Family Practice residents.
This is an opportunity to enjoy the South Okanagan’s exceptional recreation and culture with world-class wineries, beaches, boating, hiking, fishing, golf, and rock climbing, all the while working in the Penticton Regional Hospital’s Emergency Department.

Flanked by tree trimmed mountain slopes, dramatic clay cliffs and Okanagan and Skaha Lake, Penticton is one of the larger cities in the BC interior. Its lush surroundings and ideal climate, with over 2,000 hours of sunshine per year, combine to create a paradise. Indulge in wineries, golf courses, and famous sandy beaches in the summer and skiing and snowshoeing when the snow falls. Penticton is an innovative and adventurous waterfront city offering all the amenities of a larger urban centre while preserving its small-town charm and warmth. With an array of fine dining, shops, recreational facilities and local vendors and agriculturalists at its weekly farmer’s market, Penticton has it all. Come experience this incredible lifestyle for yourself!
