Pediatrician – Full Time
The Opportunity:
The regional pediatric program at PRHC includes a dynamic group of pediatricians, nurses and nurse practitioners providing a wide breadth of services to the hospital, including:
Inpatient care with a 24 bed Maternal Child Unit, 10 of which are dedicated to pediatrics.
Participation in a shared-care hospitalist rounding model is an expectation.
Level 2b NICU (10 bed). An interest or additional training in neonatology would be an asset. There are approximately 1,700 deliveries a year at PRHC, with another 700 at surrounding referral centres
Pediatric Outpatient (POP) Clinic. A variety of pediatric clinics operate out of the hospital, with over 20,000 visits
annually. Pediatric clinics include: Complex Care Clinic, Personal Health Improvement Team (PHIT), Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome/High Risk Antenatal (NAS), Asthma/Complex Respiratory Medicine, Diabetes Clinic, Emergency Room Follow-up, Urgent Care, Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) and Infusion clinics.
The pediatric group provides continuous, shared call coverage, consultation services to the PRHC specialists, emergency room, and regional institutional partners as well as attendance at high-risk deliveries.
