The Project Coordinator, Medical Staff Onboarding & Orientation plans, organizes and controls activities associated with the design and implementation of an effective and efficient process to onboard and orient medical staff in Interior Health using a project management approach.

The Project Coordinator will work collaboratively with a Rural Physician to co-lead the creation of an optimal Medical Staff Onboarding & Orientation (MSOO) program tailored to meet the needs of new medical staff while ensuring the MSOO program is comprehensive, easy to access, and practical.

A Quality Improvement approach will be employed to optimize success of new medical staff, while meeting the needs of the organization by:

• Undertaking a systematic assessment of the current state of MSOO at IH, to identify available resources and prioritize areas in need of improvement
• Co-designing with medical staff and relevant IH departments to create a user friendly and comprehensive MSOO experience
• Creating a MSOO package of materials that encompasses IH requirements to ensure medical staff are “job ready” while meeting the needs of medical staff in preparing to practice
• Streamlining the MSOO processes and removing barriers
• Ensuring medical staff are successfully orientated into IH, their physical workplace, their department or program, and their communities
• Creating a central location for medical staff to access resources which support the MSOO process and support the physician journey
• Exploring options for a mentorship and/or coaching program to pair new medical staff with an existing experienced member of the medical staff
• Integrating a standard process to solicit feedback on their experience and identify and quickly prototype and evaluate MSOO program improvements

Experienced in medical staff engagement, the Project Coordinator recognizes the complexities of leading change with a diverse group. The Project Coordinator develops, fosters, and maintains strong collaborative working relationships with and among the Medical Affairs leadership, Executive Medical Directors, senior Interior Health leaders and external partners.

Interior Health strives to create an environment where you enjoy the work you do, the place where you work, and the people around you. Where every person matters!
