Description:
Alberta Health Services in partnership with the University of Alberta, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, is inviting applications from Emergency Medicine Physicians to join the Department of Emergency Medicine in the Edmonton Zone on a one year 0.1 FTE Locum, starting July 1, 2024.
(Shifts cover days/evenings/nights/weekends. A full-time (1.0 FTE) schedule generally represents10-12 clinical shifts per month.)
Please note: Locum positions are temporary assignments; physicians recruited to locum positions who wish to become permanent will be required to apply for positions as they become available on the Doctor Jobs website, https://doctorjobsalberta.albertahealthservices.ca/
Our physician group provides coverage for both the RAH and the NECHC. Physicians joining our group are required to work at both sites.
The RAH is an approximately 850 bed facility located in the heart of the City of Edmonton. As an inner-city tertiary trauma center, the emergency department (ED) provides 24/7 service to over 73,000 patients per year. This is an exciting opportunity for Emergency Physicians interested in developing their critical care and trauma experience, as well as witnessing the rewards of treating patients who are challenged by social circumstance, addictions and mental health issues. The RAH ED prides itself in building a foundation that promotes the health and well-being of the community.
The RAH has a full suite of consultant services available on site, and is also the major referral center in Northern Alberta for Women’s Health, Thoracic surgery, Bariatrics and Ophthalmology. As a teaching facility for a variety of health care learners, you will also interact with students in many disciplines.
The NECHC ED is a stand-alone 18 bed emergency department that provides service to over 48 000 patients a year. It is part of a facility that includes several outpatient clinics such as: sports medicine, pediatrics, family medicine, psychiatry and women’s health. There are no inpatient facilities on site. Working at the NECHC allows our physicians to work in a community setting and maintain their pediatric skills, as pediatric volumes are the second highest in the Edmonton zone. Like the RAH the department serves patients with challenging social circumstances as well as several new immigrant communities that have settled in the city.
All Edmonton Zone hospitals are affiliated with the University of Alberta, and serve as important training facilities for residents and students. The Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry has been internationally recognized as among the world’s top 50 medical schools and as one of Canada’s premier healtheducation institutions. Applicants are expected to participate in education of trainees and are encouraged to apply for Clinical Academic Colleague appointments in the Academic Department of Emergency Medicine.
