Emergency Medicine

Role and Facility Information

Fraser Health and the Surrey Memorial Hospital are seeking Physicians who are interested in a high-volume acute care medicine environment.

In this role, you will be part of the Medical Emergency team (MET) providing medical care to inpatients in critical conditions. We offer teaching and training opportunities for individuals who are eager to refine their critical care clinical and procedural skills, or who are simply interested in learning and practicing in this environment. The program is well supported, well remunerated, and works closely with the Department of Critical Care.

• Act as Code Team Leader and Most Responsible Physician (MRP) in Code Blue scenarios for admitted inpatients and for other Code Blue calls outside of the SMH Emergency Department.
• Provide timely response to all inpatient medical emergencies and immediate assessment and treatment for critically ill or injured inpatients, including assisting other MRPs with acute inpatient stroke and after‑hours contrast reaction responses.
• Perform advanced critical care procedures, including airway management, central catheter placement, drainage catheter insertions, and hemodynamic monitoring. The MET team physician is supported in person and remotely while on shift by the Intensivist on call.
• Provide clinical support for the Intensive Care Unit under the supervision of the Intensivist on call. This role does not require MRP responsibilities in the ICU.
• Participate in teaching and training programs to educate medical staff, residents, and fellows.
• Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to develop and implement evidence‑based protocols and best practices for emergency and critical care.
• Contribute to ongoing quality improvement initiatives and research projects aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and safety.
