Academic Affiliations:

Since its founding in 1966, innovation has been the hallmark of McMaster University's Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine and a major contributor to its international reputation for excellence.

The medical school has expanded to a regional campus in Niagara, which is located at Brock University. Students at the Niagara Regional Campus complete their clinical rotations in one of the six area hospitals with teaching done by the highly skilled and motivated hospital physicians.

Opportunities for strengthening and building strong academic partnerships are a priority for the NHS as the hospital has expanded into this new facility. We are interested in Physicians who will pursue a university faculty appointment and participate in academic activities within a strong regional community hospital setting. Research opportunities abound at Niagara Health and all new members will be onboarded to support our current research efforts. In addition, opportunities to lead research projects locally will be supported by the hospital and division.

In addition to McMaster, the Niagara Health System is building strong ties with other regional academic providers such as Brock University and Niagara College.
