Hospitalist

Role and Facility Information

Ridge Meadows Hospital (RMH) is seeking qualified physicians to join their well-established and busy Hospitalist program in a permanent (full time/part time) capacity. Applicants should have a strong interest in developing a permanent acute care hospital practice and working collaboratively with all members of the inter-professional team, including medical staff, Nurse Practitioners, and Allied Health staff.

• Primary responsibilities include admission and management of “unattached” patients as the Most Responsible Physician (MRP), as well as supportive care for some surgical and specialty medical patients.
• This job requires superior clinical and communication skills, along with exceptional bedside manner and people management abilities.
• Hospitalists must be proficient with the range of hospital and community resources available in their local institution, and work collaboratively with specialist and community-based physicians to optimize patient care and discharge planning processes.
• New graduates who apply for positions are expected to demonstrate their proficiency in hospital medicine through hospitalist electives and other relevant educational rotations during their training.
• Candidates with post-graduate Fellowship training in hospital medicine will be given preference.

Shifts

• There are 10 hour shifts (7am-5pm) Monday to Sunday.
• An evening admitting shift (4 admissions) from 5-11pm is staffed on a rotational basis and is compensated at the usual hourly rate.
• There are virtual evening shifts (5-11pm) and 9 hour virtual overnight shifts (11pm-8am), which can be done from home but are only available to those physicians who do day and evening admitting shifts.
• Scheduling is done three months in advance and is "preferential/flexible scheduling", not block rotations.

Eligibility

• Candidates must be licensed or (eligible for licensure) with College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC).
• Hospitalist experience is strongly suggested, and membership in professional hospital medicine societies is an asset.

Compensation

Compensation details are provided in the Physician Master Agreement and the Hospitalist contract.
