Cardiologist with Advanced Heart Failure Training-Royal Columbian Hospital

Based in New Westminster and part of the Fraser Health Authority, Royal Columbian Hospital is a tertiary cardiac hospital and academic centre, and the regional hub for cardiac catheterization, structural interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, and mechanical circulatory support. The 21-member Division of Cardiology is a collegial division that continues to grow. The new Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, slated to open in 2026, will enhance our inpatient cardiology footprint, provide a new Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), and continue our position as a leading cardiac centre in British Columbia. Further, division members are eligible for academic appointment to the University of British Columbia (UBC) Division of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery, to a level commensurate with academic position requirements. Division members are fortunate to work resident doctors from various programs, including UBC Cardiology, and are supported by Nurse Practitioners, Associate Physicians, and other allied health clinicians.

We are seeking applicants with Royal College-accredited (or equivalent) training in cardiology, as well as additional fellowship training in advanced heart failure. Specific expertise in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the impact of valvular disease on heart failure, or experience as a clinical trial investigator or in medical education is encouraged.

The successful applicant will be afforded opportunities to work in our Heart Function Clinic; join our MitraClip and Transcatheter Heart Valve teams; provide consultative services to patients in cardiogenic shock or requiring mechanical circulatory support for consideration of advanced cardiac therapies; and attend on the cardiology inpatient/CICU and consult services. Applicants will also be encouraged to develop and maintain a robust outpatient cardiology practice.
