Hospitalist Medicine Opportunity

Hospitalist Medicine Opportunity

Headwaters Health Care Centre is a community hospital operating as an acute and complex continuing care facility, offering both inpatient and outpatient services, as well as an Emergency Department with 24/7 coverage. With over 700 staff and over 160 physicians, the hospital is accredited with Exemplary Standing by Accreditation Canada. Located in Orangeville, Ontario, we are at the heart of medical services for the Greater Dufferin area and other surrounding counties. Our small town offers great opportunities for outdoor recreation, many thriving shops and restaurants, and lots of small-town charm. We are conveniently located one hour from downtown Toronto.

Locum/Part-time positions are available in Orangeville for our GP acute inpatient Hospitalist Program. We are currently a group of 13 Hospitalists with additional locums offering occasional coverage. We support a catchment area of 100,000, at a hospital with 86 beds.

As a Hospitalist you would have excellent communication skills, strengths in working with teams, patients and families and prior hospitalist experience is preferred. At Headwaters, Hospitalists work day-shifts in one-week blocks, Monday through Sunday, on site from 0800-1700 hours. Minimum requirements to apply include a CPSO independent practice license and up to date ACLS certification. The department is well supported by Internal Medicine who are available 24/7 along with multiple surgical specialties and diagnostic imaging. A separate call group exists to cover chronic care and palliative care patients.

The ideal candidate would support our goals of providing high quality local hospitalist medicine care (both hospital and community based), collaborating with internists and other hospital- and community-based colleagues, and maintaining quality work-life balance.
