BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH) seeking a Locum Pediatric Endocrinologist. BCCH is the only dedicated pediatric tertiary care centre for the province of British Columbia in Canada serving a population of approximately 4 million people.

The Division of Endocrinology at BCCH includes 9 clinical faculty and 1 scientist, as well as a team of dedicated clinical nurse specialists, dietitians and social workers. The vision of the Division is: ‘Empowered patients, exemplary team, ever-evolving care, and excellence in education and research.’ The Division aims to maintain its status of academic excellence through ongoing clinical and pre-clinical/discovery research, and the education of future health care providers through a successful Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons accredited fellowship training program.

The Division of Endocrinology is comprised of 3 key clinical programs:

1. The Diabetes Program serves children and youth <19 years of age diagnosed with all forms of diabetes. Care is provided at diagnosis in the Diabetes Day Program, throughout childhood and adolescence in the Diabetes Outpatient Clinic until transition to adult services. Care is also provided closer to home via outreach (Abbotsford, Prince George, Yukon), and telehealth clinics.
2. The Endocrinology Program serves as a consultation service to children and youth <19 years of age who have possible or confirmed endocrine diagnoses. The program includes outreach clinics that were established in the last 10 years in Prince George, Abbotsford, and Kelowna with the goal of minimizing patient/family travel and to support care closer to home.
3. The Gender Program, one of the busiest in North America, serves transgender and gender-nonconforming youth <19 years from across BC who are seeking information and treatment regarding pubertal blockade and gender-affirming hormone therapy. The team (Endocrinologist, Endocrine Nurse Clinician and Social Worker) work in partnership with BCCH and community mental health professionals as well as Trans Care BC as a ‘clinic without walls’ that delivers endocrine care to this population.

The successful candidate must have completed a MD degree and be eligible to obtain a specialist’s license to practice medicine in British Columbia as well as Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada certification in Pediatrics and Fellowship training in Endocrinology (or equivalents). The proposed position will have a clinical component that includes outpatient clinics in endocrinology and diabetes, in-patient service and call, and outreach/virtual care. The successful applicant will participate in educational activities within the Division including academic rounds and fellow/resident teaching.

The successful candidate will also require a clinical appointment with the University of British Columbia (UBC). The UBC Clinical faculty rank and salary will be commensurate upon personal experience and qualifications.
