Plastic Surgeon, LGH

The Department of Surgery is looking for a part-time Plastic Surgeon to join our existing group and provide surgical services at Lions Gate Hospital and the Sea to Sky corridor. The ideal candidate will have fellowship training in breast surgery, including breast reconstruction and breast reduction.

It is expected that the applicant will have a strong interest in general community plastic surgery including skin cancer management, hand/wrist and craniofacial trauma, complex wound care, and general body and breast surgery. The ideal candidate is expected to work collegially and collaboratively within the existing group of four full time plastic surgeons.

The candidate will also support call coverage for all acute care sites within the Coastal Community of Care. General plastic surgery call is expected to be 1 in 5 and a MOCAP agreement provides an on call stipend.

Lions Gate Hospital is a recognized Level 3 trauma centre and a key acute care provider for a population exceeding 270,000 residents across the North Shore and Sea-to-Sky Country. We are rapidly expanding with the upcoming new Medical and Surgical Centre, which will further establish LGH as a specialized regional facility. There is a closed ICU, full anesthesia support, interventional radiology and supporting surgical specialties including plastics and urology on site. Our new facilities, including the Paul Myers Tower with 108 private patient rooms and eight new operating rooms, ensure we remain at the forefront of healthcare delivery in the VCH region. Plastic surgery resources include access to scheduled and emergency OR time, minor procedure room, hand clinic, and a wound care clinic.

The Division of Plastic Surgery is affiliated with University of British Columbia Plastic Surgery residency training program as well as Family Practice residency program. All surgeons are involved in teaching residents and medical students during their rotations at Lions Gate Hospital.
