As the tertiary care referral centre for the entire Northeastern Ontario region, HSN serves a catchment population of over 600,000 residents.

The Department of Psychiatry is actively seeking a bilingual (English and French) General Adult Psychiatrist. We are also looking for two adult  psychiatrists with experience in psychotherapy including cognitive behavioural therapy. A special interest in personality disorders and/or in  addictions services are considered assets.  Locum opportunities are also available.

The Sudbury & District Mental Health system currently has 12 adult psychiatrists and 4 child psychiatrists on staff. Their hospital-based practices have access to 60 acute adult psychiatric beds and 6 children and adolescent beds for the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Program. Fee-for-service and sessional fees are available, and remuneration is competitive with other psychiatric facilities while providing ample opportunity for private office-based work. After hours and weekends, a G.P. is on first call for Psychiatry. The hospital has extensive community-based mental health and addictions programs that integrate with their adult, children and adolescent acute services to provide a full continuum of care. Our Hospital also hosts extensive institutional and community-based mental health and addiction services employing 350 staff and serving both urban and rural populations.

All physicians are required to seek academic appointment at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), and become involved in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate trainees. Research opportunities are also available with HSN’s affiliated research institute, HSNRI.
