Original job description
Role and Facility Information
Prince Rupert is actively looking for locums for our Unattached Inpatient Coverage program. This program covers unattached patients while they are admitted to hospital and is covered a week at a time by a single physician. Patients are seen and worked up in the ER with admission orders written by the Emergency Physician. Patients are transferred to the unattached inpatient program the following morning and followed from that point by the unattached inpatient program. Patient case load is generally 12-16 patients per day.
Dates are available and customizable through December 2024. Locums may tailor their experience in Prince Rupert by engaging in Emergency shifts or community office practice locums.
Travel, accommodation, and car rental will be covered. Please note that each assignment must be a minimum of 7 days.
Prince Rupert Regional Hospital has 26 inpatient beds offering a full range of services including: Emergency (22,000 visits per year), Acute care, Radiology, Internal medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Orthopedics, General surgery, Psychiatry and Pediatrics.
Prince Rupert is a marine-based port city that is home to amazing wildlife and wilderness adventures, unique history, cultural experiences, and the spectacular scenery of the rugged Coast Mountain Range and the Great Bear Rain Forest. Easily accessible by air, rail, cruise ship, ferry or car, Prince Rupert’s attractions include Indigenous cultural works of art, fine North Coast galleries and boutiques, parks, walking trails, restaurants, and coffee shops. While you’re here we encourage you to spend time out on the water kayaking, fishing, and taking in the scenery or even enjoying a round of golf!
Remuneration is very generous and currently delivered through a blended model, with both FFS billing (done by physician) and FPSC Stabilizing/Bridging and grant funding (through PNW Divisions of Family Practice).
