Our client, West Parry Sound Health Centre (WPSHC), is a highly integrated health care facility situated in northern Ontario along the shores of Georgian Bay.  WPSHC serves a unique population of 25,000 permanent residents and over 100,000 seasonal residents.  It is situated at the heart of the world’s largest freshwater archipelago and within one of Ontario’s most popular recreational locations.  Located in the centre of the Georgian Bay Mnidoo Gamii Biosphere, a region of global ecological significance as designated by UNESCO, the region offers stunning year-round opportunities for outdoor exploration and enjoyment.  From calm inland lakes to rugged windswept islands the landscape lends itself to outdoor pursuits such as paddling, boating, hiking, cycling, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and more. 

With 70 acute care beds and an attached 110-bed long term care facility, WPSHC offers inpatient and outpatient acute care services, including emergency and intensive care, medical/surgical care, maternal/child care, diagnostic and rehabilitation services.  Diagnostics on-site include 24/7 access to laboratory and diagnostic imaging (CT, XRAY) as well as echocardiography, and stress tests. 

The Intensive Care Unit is a six-bed, level two closed ICU that includes centralized monitoring and ventilator capacity.  The unit provides support to patients with complex respiratory, cardiac and GI conditions.  It also serves as a surgical step-down unit.  There is strong subspecialist/tertiary support from Health Sciences North. 

The Department of Internal Medicine is expanding their program to a fifth internist.  Opportunities exist for a General Internal Medicine Specialist to join the team, to staff a closed ICU, and provide consultation services to the Emergency Department and in-patient units within a collegial work environment.  In addition to General Internal Medicine and Intensive Care practice, excellent practice opportunities exist for candidates with practice interests in Cardiology, Respirology, Geriatrics, and Endocrinology, as well as other clinical practice areas. 

Successful candidates will be certified, or eligible for certification, by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and hold, or be eligible for, licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.  CPSO pathway licensure is easily available for US Board Certified Physicians. 

Preferred candidates will bring clinical excellence and teamwork to ensure that WPSHC delivers high quality patient care through a well functioning Internal Medicine and Intensive Care service.
