The drug programs department is seeking registrants with clinical expertise in prescribing opioids, sedatives, and stimulants to join CPSBC as part-time assessors. This role is ideal for clinicians in primary care (family physicians) or mental health (psychiatrists) who are passionate about quality assurance and patient safety.
Currently, the position offers a flexible, fully remote commitment of up to eight hours per week, with the potential for additional hours.

The PRP is specifically looking for consultants who bring expertise in coaching and mentoring to help guide their peers through these updates.

- Analyze prescribing profiles: use objective criteria to identify trends that may pose risks to patient safety.
- Mentor peers: engage directly with registrants to provide evidence-based feedback, coaching, and guidance on the prescription of psychoactive medications.
- Promote best practices: encourage alignment with clinical standards and CPSBC bylaws to ensure high-quality medical practice.
Qualifications

- Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
- A collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively within a team.
