Our ER welcomes residents.  We have a high-volume, high-acuity single-coverage ER.  We often see 25-30 patients per shift.  Residents are welcome to pick and choose patients they feel have the greatest learning potential.  We will support residents in leading codes and resuscitations, performing procedural sedation and a wide range of procedures.  We do lots of orthopedic reductions and a decent amount of intubations, central lines and arterial lines.  We take only 1 resident at a time with the intent that all good ER cases are for that resident while they are here.  We will call you in for cool cases if you are off shift.  

​

We work 8 hours shifts and don't schedule residents for overnight shifts given the volume is typically lower.  Excellent competent collegial group of ER nurses.  Our ER is supported by general surgery, pediatrics, anesthesia, obs/gyne, addictions service and internal medicine on call.  On site CT and ultrasound.  Kamloops is our referral center.

All full-time local ER doctors and most locums are CCFP(EM).  We see so much pathology here and do little geriatrics.  Come spend some time with us, it's a great department for learning.
