The Department of Psychiatry at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH) is looking for General Psychiatrists to provide locum services.

Nanaimo’s Department of Psychiatry consists of adult, child and youth and geriatric psychiatrists working in community and acute settings.

Community services are provided through community mental health and substance use treatment teams. These community teams provide rehab support and case management for adults, as well as consultation and psychiatric clinical services for primary care referrals.
