The Opportunity

We are recruiting an OB/GYN to join Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH), a supportive rural Ontario hospital serving a 50,000+ person catchment area. This replacement role (July 2026 start) offers a gyne-dominant surgical practice with sustainable low-risk obstetrics and strong ambulatory care opportunities.

Clinical Scope – Obstetrics

·        ~250 births annually (growth target 300–400)

·        Low-risk obstetrics (Level 1B guardrails)

·        No NICU or on-site pediatrics

·        High-risk OB transfers to tertiary centres

·        C-sections performed locally

·        7 active midwives delivering in hospital and community

Clinical Scope – Gynecology & Surgery (Major Focus)

GBGH’s Operating Room is equipped for advanced laparoscopic procedures within a Level 1B hospital framework, supported by an experienced OR nursing team and strong general surgery collaboration.

·        Laparoscopic hysterectomies

·        Oophorectomies

·        Salpingectomies

·        Diagnostic laparoscopy

·        NovaSure endometrial ablations

·        MyoSure hysteroscopic myomectomies

·        En bloc bowel resections performed entirely laparoscopically when indicated

This is not an exhaustive list. Candidates are encouraged to expand procedural offerings in keeping with their training, hospital capacity, and multidisciplinary safety standards.

·        Growing referral base for gynecologic surgery

·        OR access every other week progressing to weekly

·        Increasing minimally invasive volumes

·        No on-site Gynecologic Oncology (complex cases referred appropriately)

Call & Workload

·        1-in-3 or 1-in-4 home call (low volume)

·        Currently supported by 2 locums

·        Funding supports 2 OB/GYNs plus GPOB support

·        Manageable call compared to GTA centres

Compensation & Incentives

·        AFPT model approximately $450,000

·        30% FFS component

·        HOCC $500/day

·        $8,000 relocation funding

Community & Lifestyle

Georgian Bay General Hospital is a 113-bed acute care hospital serving Midland, Penetanguishene, and North Simcoe. The region offers exceptional four-season outdoor living, family-friendly communities, and more attainable housing costs compared to major urban centres.

·        ~90 minutes to Toronto

·        45–50 minutes to Barrie

·        30 minutes to Orillia

Why This Role Stands Out

·        Gyne-dominant advanced laparoscopic surgical opportunity

·        Expandable surgical scope with multidisciplinary support

·        Strong OR culture and collegial surgical team

·        Physician-supportive leadership

·        Balanced rural lifestyle with GTA proximity

·        Opportunity to shape and grow women’s health services
