The Divisions operate an academic practice plan, and candidates are expected to contribute to it, with eligibility for a supplementary stipend for exceptional academic contribution. The successful candidate will have a General Cardiology outpatient practice, inpatient hospital consultative service, hospital clinics, and access to electrodiagnostic resources. This role will also be an unpaid clinical faculty position within the Division of Cardiology at UBC, supporting the development and growth of UBC Cardiology research and education programs. UBC Cardiology will support an appointment of Clinical Assistant Professor or higher, with the final rank determined by the UBC Department of Medicine's Appointments and Promotion Committee.
