Role and Facility Information
The Orthopaedic Department at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, BC is seeking a full‑time orthopaedic surgeon to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to live, work and play in the Kootenay Rockies. The five surgeons currently on staff provide general orthopaedics, hip/knee arthroplasty, upper extremity and sports surgery coverage. The team is specifically looking for candidates with an interest in general community orthopaedics.
Fellowship training in arthroplasty, trauma, lower extremity/foot and ankle is considered an asset, but our priority is finding a good fit with our group.
Call is equally distributed and averages 1:5. Elective OR time averages one day per week. There is a hospital‑based cast clinic with two certified cast technicians; assigned cast clinic time is about one day a week. There may be capacity to share an office or you may set up your own office.
As part of the selection process, shortlisted candidates are expected to work as a locum for a determined period of time to become familiar with the team, work site and community before the final decision.
Successful candidates will possess or be eligible for FRCSC certification, or equivalent, in orthopaedics and must be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia.
