Responsibilities:

The Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition is seeking a temporary full-time physician for a one-year term. The position is 90% clinical with opportunity for some education activities.

The successful candidate will join a strong service comprised of 9 pediatric gastroenterologists and a multi-disciplinary health care team who provide clinical care at the Stollery Children’s Hospital with consultative services offered throughout the Edmonton Zone facilities. The division provides comprehensive GI, hepatology, liver and intestinal transplant, and nutritional services to an expansive referral area including central and northern Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. The Stollery Children’s Hospital is the Western Canadian pediatric liver and intestinal/multivisceral transplant referral center.

Responsibilities would include inpatient care and consultation, outpatient medical clinic consultation and follow up, diagnostic and interventional endoscopy and after hours on call duties. The role will provide much needed uplift to existing general pediatric gastroenterology care as well as support of existing specialty programs. A Clinical Academic Colleague appointment to the Department of Pediatrics, University of Alberta, would be an expectation with potential for engagement in both undergraduate and postgraduate education activities. We look forward to welcoming the successful applicant to a collegial, supportive and highly motivated clinical academic team.
