DOCTOR JOBS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Doctors Positions in BC Available Today

Are you a doctor living in BC or planning to relocate to this province? This might be just the best decision you have made in your life!

British Columbia is the western coastline province of Canada, and BC residents usually say that this place is the closest thing to Heaven you can find on Earth. Mild climate, beautiful nature, clean ecology, and amazing people—these are only the main benefits of living in BC. And then comes the ocean, the best cuisine in Canada, close proximity to the USA (most of the big cities are located within a short drive of the US border), and many more perks. British Columbia also has the second-largest British expats population after Ontario, and appears to be the favorite place for immigrants from the UK.

And what is it for health professionals? The number of hospitals in BC is relatively small; however, the population of this province is rapidly growing, and there is a great demand for physicians and medical experts, especially in Vancouver, Abbotsford, Victoria, and other major cities. In 2022 BC government came up with a few initiatives, and the quotes for doctor positions are growing all the time.
