BC’s natural advantages
Snow-capped mountains, fertile valleys, lush green forests and one of the world’s most spectacular coastlines – British Columbia is everything you’ve imagined and more. Renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and enviable quality of life, this is the ideal place to pursue your medical career and create the kind of lifestyle that most people only dream about.
Rewarding practice opportunities
Choose from a wide range of exciting family practice and specialist opportunities throughout the province. And know that your skills are highly valued – the training of medical professionals is a top priority for British Columbia. Health care is considered an investment into the province’s people and future.
Unlimited recreational activities
Few areas in the world can match BC’s scope of outdoor recreational opportunities. From skiing and snowboarding in the winter to ocean kayaking and world-class golf in the warmer months, there’s rarely an excuse to stay inside. Even if you’re not a sports enthusiast, there are hundreds of places to simply kick back, breathe in the fresh air, and relish the awe-inspiring views. This is a place where the pursuit of a balanced lifestyle is taken seriously.
The best in rural and urban lifestyles
Situated on the Pacific Coast of North America and home to a vibrant mix of cultures, BC offers a choice of lifestyles. If you are a confirmed urbanite, thriving cities such as Vancouver, Victoria and Kelowna offer everything you could want in the way of arts, culture, restaurants and other amenities. If you prefer a quieter way of life, consider one of BC’s rural communities. Leave traffic jams and long commutes behind to enjoy clean air, safe living conditions and affordable housing.
Rural medicine: career enrichment and quality of life
Practicing medicine in a rural area offers unique advantages that enable you to grow both personally and professionally. From obstetrics to trauma, the opportunity to practice broad spectrum medicine allows you to fully utilize your skills, broaden your experience and often enjoy greater autonomy. Here you can get to know your patients and see them through the continuum of care.
As a rural doctor, you will enjoy an enhanced sense of community with a broad spectrum of other health professionals as you work collaboratively to ensure seamless patient care. You will also have access to quality specialist services around your community, with visiting physicians, or through telemedicine case conferencing.
