Join Northeastern Ontario’s health care leader

Health Sciences North/Horizon Santé-Nord (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 and it provides 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.

We are recruiting  a General Cardiologist with Nuclear Cardiology training, additional training in echo would be considered an asset to complement and support the Department’s rapid expansion. Locum opportunities are also available.

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.
