Paediatrician – Full-Time
Guelph General Hospital (GGH) is a fully accredited hospital with exemplary standing. Each year, more than 1,800 births take place at our facility. We offer a renovated and redesigned advanced Level 2A Special Care Nursery with 10 beds, a paediatric ward with eight to 10 beds, and paediatric day surgery services.
Our neonatal and paediatric outpatient clinic is supported by a registered nurse/lactation consultant and a diabetic clinic. On-call physicians are expected to take consults from the emergency department, obstetricians, midwives and community physicians. Paediatricians admit patients as needed and attend high-risk deliveries alongside Special Care Nursery nurses and respiratory therapists.
Our staff actively participate in Grand Rounds (accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada), teaching, and quality improvement committees. GGH is also a teaching site affiliated with McMaster University.
Guelph is consistently ranked among Canada’s best places to live and GGH is just a 20- to 40-minute drive from Hamilton and the Halton region, with minimal traffic. Private on-call rooms—including a bed, desk, TV, bathroom, fridge, microwave and lockers are available for physicians who choose to stay overnight at the hospital.
Payment is fee-for-service and a hospital on call stipend, with an added incentive for weekend and holiday calls. Paediatricians participate in a service model. Full-time staff will also work in the neonatal and paediatric outpatient clinic.
You’ll enjoy working with a dynamic team of doctors, nurses, midwives and other health care professionals. We’d be happy to offer a tour and answer any questions you may have.
