CKHA operates two 24/7 Emergency Departments at sites in Chatham and Wallaceburg with annual visits that are approximately 40,000 and 15,000 visits respectively. Members of the Department work at both sites giving them a chance to use different skillsets.
CKHA is a 200-bed hospital that offers a full range of medical and diagnostic services including CT, MRI, and 24-hour laboratory, diagnostic imaging and respiratory therapy services. We also offer specialty services in Internal Medicine, ENT, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, General Surgery, Anesthesia, Psychiatry, Urology and OB/GYN.
The Basics: Call, Payment and Schedule
Generous remuneration is provided through our Emergency Departments AFA. Hourly rates vary from $150 to $201 per hour. On top of this hourly rate, you will enjoy shadow billings of 37% in Chatham and 10% in Wallaceburg. Pick up a call shift (which only covers sick calls) and you'll automatically be paid a stipend of $487.94.
Want to pair your ED shifts with a family practice or Hospitalist work? No problem! We live by fair and equitable scheduling where vacation is expected and supported. We agree that work/life balance is super important, so feel free to build your career the way you want with CKHA. We can offer you a small handful of shifts per month or if you want to work full-time in ED, we can offer up to 120 shifts per year between our sites. The schedule has various shifts ranging anywhere from 10-24 hours, so the choice is yours.
Who we're Looking for
Physicians with Emergency Medicine experience wanted. Awesome people preferred! Family docs and new grads welcome. Preference will be given to candidates with CCFP (EM), but it's not required.

A Bit More About Chatham-Kent:
Located waaay down at the southern tip of Ontario (but only 3 hours from Toronto and 1 hour to Detroit), Chatham isn't called the banana belt of Canada for nothin'. In 2021, Chatham-Kent was ranked #27 on Maclean's list of Best Communities in Canada, and we were featured as the #1 Growth City in 2022 on U-Haul's Top 25 Growth Cities in Canada list so even if you don't trust us yet, there's some solid proof out there!
Chatham-Kent is home to over 23 unique communities, each providing their own lifestyle options for people of all ages. Located between Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, Chatham-Kent covers a large geographical area and offers a warm Ontario climate, close proximity to water, beautiful natural scenery, and competitive house prices.
