The Opportunity

The department of Obstetrics/Gynecology at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is seeking a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist to join our team!

Work Better Our current call group consists of seven (7) generalists and one maternal-fetal medicine specialist. Our recruit would share a full-time position with our current MFM. The partnership would together be responsible for sharing call, reading ultrasound, providing high-risk consultations and prenatal care, and providing other high-risk pregnancy services such as amniocentesis and cerclage placement. When not on service, other work opportunities would include assisting in the gynecology Operating Room (OR) or participating in abortion care, if desired. Currently our MFM specialist is fee-for-service, but we are actively exploring alternative options for remuneration.

Our Labour & Delivery unit welcomes around 1,700 babies each year, has its own dedicated OR, and is attached to PRHC’s Level 2B NICU. Our hospital has an adult ICU and full-time genetics service. PRHC is the referral centre for the group of five hospitals in the region. We also have an excellent working relationship with the MFM group at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

This is an exciting time to join the OB/GYN team at PRHC! We have big plans for the coming years. We are exploring new opportunities to enhance our Women’s and Children’s program, developing formal relationships with the nearby community hospitals for which we serve as the referral centre, and continuing to partner and work closely with individuals and organizations in the greater Peterborough community. For those who are interested in quality improvement, in creative partnerships, and in leadership, this job will be of particular interest!

Live Better

We are also a group of physicians committed to work-life balance, and anticipate that candidates seeking a job share are apt to feel similarly!

We encourage and welcome fellows and locum physicians to come test the waters and see if we may be a good fit.
