Cardiology Practice Opportunity

Join Northeastern Ontario’s healthcare leader

Health Sciences North (HSN) is recruiting health care professionals who have a keen interest in affecting change within its dynamic health care system. 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 Cardiovascular Sciences at HSN is a tertiary care program, providing full non-invasive, interventional, and arrhythmia services, as well as a cardiac surgical program.  The Department runs two Cath Labs with five Interventional Cardiologists undertaking both diagnostic and multiple interventional procedures. Our STEMI/RESCUE program is expanding across the Northeast and our TAVI program is well established.  At present, we have four Cardiologists implanting Pacemakers, ICDs and CRTs, and our Cardiac Surgical Program performs coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and valve repair/replacement. The Department of Cardiology also provides advanced imaging including 3D Echo, Cardiac MRI, and Cardiac CT.

HSN is seeking a General Cardiologist. Additional training in echo would be considered an asset to complement and support the Department’s rapid expansion. Locum opportunities are also available.

The successful candidate will be expected to work general cardiology on-call. Ability to communicate in both English and French is also considered an asset. Candidates must have obtained specialty qualifications from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and be independently licensed or eligible for licensure in Ontario; qualified restricted and academic licensed physicians will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. 

We have a strong interest in academic work and welcome applicants with a strong academic background. All physicians are  expected to seek academic appointment at NOSM University (NOSM U), and become involved in teaching undergraduate and postgraduate trainees. Research opportunities are also available with HSN’s research institute, HSNRI.

If you are currently practicing or within one year of graduating, and are interested in opportunities in Sudbury, the Ministry of Health’s Community Assessment Visit Program will cover travel and accommodation expenses for both you and your spouse to come explore our practice opportunity and the City of Greater Sudbury.
