Psychiatrists

Research shows that individuals with prenatal exposures to alcohol and other substances, as well as those who experience childhood trauma, are more likely to have mental health concerns across their lifespan. Psychiatrists are able to inform complex diagnoses as well as support individuals in the community. Opportunities can be explored for psychiatrists across BC, including those able to work through virtual care.

Successful applicants will also have the ability to offer therapy services both virtually and in-person as well as organize an effective work schedule.
