Position Summary

Within the context of a patient and family-centered model of care, and in accordance with the Mission, Vision, Values and strategic directions of Providence Health Care (“Providence”), the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) is seeking Primary Care Physicians with an interest in optimizing subacute medical care during inpatient rehabilitation. Each of our 10 teams (serving 6–10 patients) includes a Most Responsible Physician (MRP), a physiatrist, and a full complement of allied health and nursing professionals.

Holy Family Hospital’s 65-bed specialized inpatient rehabilitation unit serves older adults recovering from neurological events (primarily stroke), orthopedic surgeries, amputations, and other medical conditions. With an average patient age of 75, over 80% of our patients improve sufficiently to be discharged home—making this work both meaningful and rewarding.

Clinical Responsibilities include:
• Rounding twice weekly on assigned patients
• Participation in multidisciplinary team rounds
• Ward coverage for medical issues across teams
• On-call coverage averaging 1 in 8 weeks
• Our updated compensation model integrates Fee-for-Service (FFS), sessional payments, and MOCAP funding, designed to offer competitive remuneration.

The successful candidate will be certified for licensure by the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The successful candidate will also exemplify Providence’s values and contribute to a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion. In addition, Providence is committed to our responsibilities on Truth and Reconciliation. We hold ourselves accountable for making our care, facilities and services a safer experience for Indigenous patients, residents, families, staff and Medical Staff.
