The Division of Emergency Medicine at Quinte Health Belleville General Hospital is seeking additional Emergency Medicine Physicians.

The Belleville General Hospital Emergency Department sees over 42,000 cases annually in our newly constructed facility.

Physicians benefit from an exceptional group of dedicated emergency nurses and 24-hour support from family medicine, internal medicine, intensive care, general surgery, orthopaedics, urology, pediatrics, anesthesia, obstetrics and gynaecology, psychiatry, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, and radiology. Support is also available from cardiologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and a nephrologist. QHC has a 18 bed Intensive Care Unit.

Physicians have access to 3 point-point-of-care ultrasound machines, an endocavitary probe, and a transesophageal probe in the ER. There is state of the art diagnostic equipment, in the radiology department, including a 64 multi-slice CT scanner with a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and an MRI. Ultrasounds and CTs are available 24/7.

Our local tertiary care facility Kingston General Hospital is only 45 minutes away and provides excellent support as our regional site for neurosurgery, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, plastic surgery, and definitive trauma care.

Considering our proximity to Kingston, and the Queen’s University Belleville Family Medicine Program, several emergency physicians are affiliated with Queen's University as Assistant Professors and regularly participate in resident training.

Members receive outstanding remuneration based on our AFA. The division also has an educational program.

NEW lucrative financial incentives of $75,000 may be available from the City of Belleville. Please ask us for more details.

We are looking for emergency physicians with CCFP-EM or FRCPC-EM designations. Applicants must be current with ACLS, ATLS, and PALS certifications and be eligible for licensure in the Province of Ontario.

Emergency Medicine physician opportunities are also available at our North Hastings, Trenton Memorial Hospital, and Prince Edward County Memorial Hospitals with physicians, if interested, able to work at more than one site. There may be opportunities to combine Emergency Medicine work with Family Medicine.
