The Opportunity
PRHC is looking for Emergency Physicians (EPs) for full-time or locum positions. PRHC has a busy Emergency Department which receives approximately 87,000 visits per year of all age groups and variable acuity.
The department is staffed by 32 full and part-time EPs. Coverage is 24/7 with up to 12 scheduled shifts per 24 hour period, which means double coverage on midnights and that there may be up to six (6) EPs on at one time. Shifts are divided fairly amongst the EPs with the exception of locums,
who are exempt from midnights for the first three (3) to six (6) months. Shifts are six (6) to eight and a half (8.5) hours in length with built in time for handovers.
Our group is very collegial with excellent clinical support for each other, new locums and staff. We have monthly interprofessional simulations and departmental educational rounds. We also organize and host an annual Kawartha Emergency Medicine conference. We are affiliated with Queen’s University and are an educational site for the CCFP (EM) residents and the Queens CCFP residency program based in Peterborough. PRHC has been designated as a Level III Trauma Centre site and has a high-volume cardiac catheterization laboratory that performs diagnostic and interventional procedures, including a 24/7 EMS bypass Code STEMI system. As an EP you will have excellent support from specialty colleagues.
Position Qualifications:
· Currently licensed with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario or eligible to obtain license
· CCFP , FRCP (EM), ABEM certification or CCFP with experience in Emergency Medicine
· Eligible for active or associate staff privileges at PRHC
· Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively with physicians, nursing staff, patients, and
the interdisciplinary team
· Demonstrate the ability to integrate current evidence and best practice into the delivery of quality
care
· Evidence of on-going continued medical education to satisfy the requirements of the appropriate
college
PRHC’s Emergency Department has a formal upskills and mentorship program for new graduates and/or physicians without formal emergency medicine training. This program allows physicians to increase their scope to include additional zones and acuity over time.
This program is generally recommended for physicians who plan on dedicating a significant portion of their career to Emergency Medicine and have done some additional Emergency Medicine training (e.g. three (3) months rural skills)
