CKHA is looking for a physician to join our wonderful team! We have 2 incredible NPs supporting the Complex Continuing Care (“CCC”), Rehab and Medicine units and with 6 Hospitalists rounding per day (0800-1600) and an average of 10-15 acute patients. 

We have added a nocturnist shift to our Emergency Department to act as MRP for patients needing to be admitted after 11pm. 

The Basics: Call, Payment and Schedule

Remuneration is $1300 per week day and $1750 per weekend day or statutory holiday worked. All call will be paid a $487.94 HOCC stipend directly to you. This equals to $10,000+ per week.

Call will be shared equally amongst all Hospitalists on service. There are two calls per day, one for Acute Medicine floors and admissions from the ER from 2pm-11pm and one for the Rehab and CCC floors. Physicians will get one of each call per week on average. 

You can work as little as 1 week per month (Monday to Sunday). If you want to join us full time, we can offer 2 weeks per month. 

Generous financial recruitment incentives ($$$) are currently being offered for fulltime recruits.
