About the Role

As a neurologist at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) in Trail, you'll deliver patient care and help strengthen neurology services for the community. You'll combine office-based practice with working alongside other specialists, providing inpatient and clinic care for patients across the Kootenay Boundary region, including Nelson, Castlegar, Grand Forks, and Arrow Lakes. You'll have access to diagnostic tools including MRI, EEG, and EMG to support your practice. With support from the acute stroke service in Kelowna, you'll work as part of a network providing coordinated care across the region.

You'll have the flexibility to shape your practice around your interests, whether in movement disorders, seizures, or general neurology, and the opportunity to develop services such as a TIA clinic to support regional care. You'll also have opportunities to teach and mentor through the UBC Faculty of Medicine and residency programs, integrating clinical teaching into your schedule alongside patient care.
