Job description

Sinai Health System (SHS) combines acute care, complex and rehabilitative care, primary care, home care, and other community-based services to create an innovative and integrated continuum of care across the life course, from healthy beginnings to healthy aging. This includes a strategic focus on developing and delivering seamless, integrated care in hospital, community and home, particularly for the most complex patients. The SHS is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine, expanding the scope of the Wightman Berris Academy and developing the clinical, educational and investigative synergies, among complex acute and chronic conditions, and rehabilitation.

The Department of Internal Medicine at Sinai Health System and University Health Network, and the Department of Family Medicine at Sinai Health System are seeking a full-time physician whose primary practice will be in the inpatient setting. Applicants must possess a MD and CCFP or FRCPC certification (or equivalent) qualifications, and have, or be eligible for, licensure in the Province of Ontario. The candidate will have significant experience and training in the practice of inpatient medicine; such training might include a dedicated hospitalist fellowship (for family physicians) or training in General Internal Medicine or other internal medicine subspecialty.

The physician will provide primary care for inpatients hospitalized within Sinai Health System. They also may teach allied health professionals, graduate medical trainees, and medical students on inpatient educational rotations. The successful candidate will work at both the Bridgepoint site and Mount Sinai Hospital site on a rotational basis as part of a group of academic hospitalists working fulltime at Sinai Health System. The candidate will make an academic contribution based on training and area of interest and will be eligible for an academic appointment at University of Toronto. Compensation and Academic Rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Sinai Health System is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to further diversification of ideas. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

Interested candidates are requested to reply with a letter of interest, three references and curriculum vitae by December 15, 2015.
