Practice Description

Join our growing neurology team at RIH and help shape neurological care in our region. We are a collegial team focused on continuous practice improvement and collaboration. Whether your focus is general neurology alone or includes a subspecialty interest, you will have the opportunity to take part in a full spectrum neurology practice. Our inpatient care covers general neurology and acute stroke, including thrombolysis, in the brand new Gaglardi patient care tower, which houses a multi‑disciplinary stroke/rehabilitation unit. Hospitalist and internal medicine teams support neurology admissions. You will work with colleagues in neurosurgery, vascular surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation,



cardiology, general internal medicine, and infectious diseases. We also have strong ties with regional colleagues at Kelowna General Hospital and are developing regional subspecialty care pathways. Outpatient neurology clinics take place in the new Clinical Services Building. A TIA/stroke clinic runs five days a week and is supported by a full‑time RN and booking clerk. Our EMG lab is state of the art and staffed by an experienced technician; our EEG lab provides both inpatient and outpatient services. Further outpatient clinic expansion is underway, with plans to add a rapid access neurology clinic and additional subspecialty neurology clinics.

If you are interested in teaching, you can be actively involved with the UBC clerkship and residency programs. We have on‑site medical students, family medicine residents, internal medicine residents, and rotating residents in psychiatry and neurology. Leadership development opportunities are available through Interior Health’s NAVIG8 Program.

Locum opportunities are available during the recruitment period; an income guarantee of $15,000 per seven‑day period is available until December 31 2026. The guarantee is inclusive of all income sources, including MOCAP. Our current locum exception policy covers reasonable travel and accommodation costs, allowing you to focus on providing patient care.
