(posted Aug 27, 2009)

The Central Okanagan area of the beautiful southern interior of British Columbia seeks two full time Geriatricians to work with a dedicated team of professionals to help build a leading edge geriatrics program for the citizens in the area. The Central Okanagan has a disproportionately large and growing senior's population, and you would be given the opportunity to reshape, enhance, and create further opportunity for the service to meet population needs. An added benefit to practice in the Central Okanagan is the planned expansion of the University of British Columbia medical school into Kelowna and the ability to practice in this newest of BC's teaching environments.
