Role and Facility Information

Within the context of a patient and family-centered model of care, and in accordance with the Mission, Vision, Values and strategic directions of Providence Health Care (“Providence”), we are seeking a qualified full-time orthopaedic surgeon with fellowship training in hand and wrist surgery to join the newly formed Upper Limb Division at St. Paul’s Hospital, located in downtown Vancouver. Additional expertise in elbow surgery is welcome. Candidates must also be able to participate in the general orthopaedic trauma call schedule.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape a growing upper limb program within an academic, urban teaching hospital, with a focus on high-quality shoulder-to-fingertip orthopaedic care. St. Paul’s Hospital is a Level 3 trauma center and serves as a core teaching site for both the UBC orthopaedic upper limb residency rotation and the UBC upper limb fellowship. The successful candidate will join a collaborative academic team committed to clinical excellence, surgical education, and future program development.

The new Upper Limb Division is being built with the support of Providence Health Care and the UBC Department of Orthopaedics. We are actively working to expand interdisciplinary models of care and expect increasing collaboration with colleagues in Plastic Surgery, particularly in the area of complex hand and wrist care.
