BC Cancer

Surrey, BC

BC Cancer - Surrey is looking for a family physician to work part-time within the Medical Oncology Department as a General Practitioner in Oncology (GPO). The GPO works collaboratively with Medical Oncologists and other medical specialists, nurses and clerical staff in an interdisciplinary working environment. The role includes ambulatory care of patients on therapy and in follow up. There is a component of the role that supports inpatient care as well. There is no on call service associated with this role.

The Surrey Centre, located in Surrey, BC, offers a full range of services in Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Palliative care and support services such as Nutrition, Clinical Trials and Patient and Family Counseling.

Surrey is located 30 kilometres from downtown Vancouver and offers ready access to all the recreational and cultural activities that the Greater Vancouver area has to offer.

Join our dynamic and innovative family of health care practitioners in British Columbia, and enjoy Canada's West Coast Lifestyle with this unique opportunity.

In addition to being licensed to practice as a family physician in British Columbia, you will also meet the requirements for appointment as a member of the medical staff of the BC Cancer Agency and Surrey Memorial Hospital. In-patient and oncology experience is an asset but is not required. You must also be suitable for appointment to the University of British Columbia. No previous experience in medical oncology is required; the department will support the successful applicant in developing the requisite expertise for the role.

Successful candidates will have:
  • Commitment to upholding the shared responsibility of creating lasting and meaningful reconciliation in Canada as per TRC (2015) and BC's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2019).

Every PHSA employee enables the best possible patient care for our patients and their families. Whether you are providing direct care, conducting research, or making it possible for others to do their work, you impact the lives of British Columbians today and in the future. That's why we're focused on your care too - offering health, wellness, development programs to support you - at work and at home.
  • Join one of BC's largest employers with province-wide programs, services and operations - offering vast opportunities for growth, development, and recognition programs that honour the commitment and contribution of all employees.

Reconciliation is an ongoing process and a shared responsibility for all of us.

True reconciliation will take time and ongoing commitment to work with Indigenous Peoples as they move toward self-determination. Guiding these efforts Crown agencies must remain focused on creating opportunities that implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Mandate.
