Independent medical assessments in Kamloops
IMECore arranges IMEs and file reviews for Kamloops workplace and auto files.
In-person assessments in Kamloops are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer. Video assessments are available across British Columbia.
The problem
Kamloops workplace files need examiners the Interior shares
Forestry, transport, and trades injuries bring WorkSafeBC questions that need functional answers, while the scarcest specialties sit in Kelowna. A Kamloops booking without that routing wastes the one examiner day the file gets.
- Physical Demands Analysis material never reaches the examiner.
- Scarce-specialty opinions get booked locally where the expertise sits elsewhere.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do you have an office in Kamloops?
No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Kamloops. In-person visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer, and video assessments run across the Interior and the province.
Which assessment types run in Kamloops?
Independent Medical Examination, Functional Capacity Evaluation, Medical File Review (paper review), Physical Demands Analysis, Psychological Assessment, and Virtual Assessment, matched to the referral questions.
When does a Kamloops file go to Kelowna?
When the questions need a specialty concentrated there. We route at referral, assemble the record once, and keep the examinee to a single trip instead of two half-prepared visits.
Refer a case, get back a signed report
Send the referral and the questions. A coordinator confirms the file and what it still needs, then IMECore coordinates the examination and delivers a signed report.
