This position will include providing call coverage for gynecologic emergencies at UBC/VGH by participating in the Doctor of the Day (DOD) call schedule.

 

The successful candidate must have post-graduate training in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as well as assessment and management of chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis. Desirable additional skills include advanced ultrasound skill in evaluation of deep endometriosis, robotic surgery and/or neuropelviology. Evidence of research activity is desired.
