The Orthopaedic Department at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, BC is seeking a full-time orthopaedic surgeon to join our team. This is an exciting opportunity to come live, work and play in the Kootenay Rockies! The five surgeons currently on staff provide general orthopaedics, hip/knee arthroplasty, upper extremity and sports surgery coverage. The team is specifically looking for candidates with an interest in general community orthopaedics.
Fellowship training in arthroplasty, trauma, and/or lower extremity/foot and ankle is considered an asset but our priority is finding a good fit with our group.

As part of the selection process, it is expected that shortlisted candidates will work as a locum for a determined period of time in order to allow the candidate to become familiar with the team, the work site, and the community before the final decision is made.
