Shape the Future of Hospital Medicine at Surrey Memorial Hospital! Live the West Coast Lifestyle While Advancing Your Career

Are you seeking a dynamic, well-supported, and flexible hospitalist opportunity? Join the collaborative and growing team at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH)—one of BC’s busiest acute care centres and a flagship teaching site within the Fraser Health Region.

Applicants should have a strong interest in developing a permanent acute care hospitalist practice with the SMH Hospitalist Group. Responsibilities include the admission and management of “unattached” patients as the Most Responsible Physician (MRP) and supportive care for some surgical and specialist medical patients. This job requires superior clinical and communication skills, along with exceptional bedside manner. Our team members must demonstrate a commitment to the specialty of Hospital Medicine.

Located just 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver, Surrey Memorial offers the perfect blend of career opportunity and lifestyle.  You’ll work in a high-acuity environment with robust subspecialty support, fixed daily workload, and flexible scheduling—including ward-based, admitting, and virtual shifts—that allows you to shape your practice around your needs.

We offer:

- Compensation per the Physician Master Agreement and Regional Hospitalist Contract.
- Competitive compensation with up to 40% bonus incentive payments (volume, coverage, and
quality incentives have been met)
- Flexible start times and shift lengths, with virtual shifts available
- A welcoming environment for GPs with recent Hospital Experience, ERPs, IMs, and Hospitalists.
- Opportunities to integrate with outpatient practice or focus fully on hospital work
- Access to a diverse and vibrant urban community with SkyTrain access, top schools, and family amenities

Surrey is at the epicenter of the West Coast lifestyle. Spend your off-days hiking nearby forest trails, boating along the Pacific coastline, or enjoying world-class skiing in Whistler, just a scenic drive away. Whether it’s award-winning restaurants, vibrant cultural life, or the calm of outdoor escapes, Surrey puts the best of coastal BC at your doorstep.

We foster a collegial, innovative culture where physicians are empowered to lead, teach, and grow. Our team is actively involved in quality improvement, mentorship, and shaping the future of hospital medicine. Physicians are encouraged to take part in leadership, teaching, social, and departmental initiatives.

For those with academic interests, there are opportunities to engage in teaching and mentorship through the UBC Faculty of Medicine and the new Simon Fraser University Medical School. Physicians may pursue Clinical Instructor or Clinical Professor roles, contributing to the next generation of learners.
