Job Summary
The Division of Cardiac Surgery is seeking a permanent full-time track Cardiac Surgeon to join our group of six surgeons. The ideal candidate will have 5 to 10 years of full-time independent operating experience. Additional training and experience in complex open and minimally invasive mitral and aortic valve surgery would be an asset. The start date for the position is after April 1, 2025.
The Royal Columbian Hospital is a full-service, adult non-transplant cardiac surgery center serving a population of almost 2 million. Our service performs over 950 open heart procedures annually, including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair and replacement, complex aortic surgery, TEVAR, and Ross procedures.
We also perform tachy, brady, and biventricular cardiac electrical device implants. We are equal partners in the TAVR, TEER, and TMVR programs. Three of our members are part of the extracorporeal life support program, and one member practices critical care medicine.
The Royal Columbian Hospital is a major teaching site for the University of British Columbia cardiac surgery residency and undergraduate medical education programs. The $1.3 billion Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment will increase cardiac surgery infrastructure and operating capacity by at least 50%, with a projected opening in February 2026.
