Job description

About Blair Health

Blair Health is a clinical infrastructure company closing the specialist gap. Today, someone with perimenopause, menopause, pelvic health, urology or nutrition concerns can see three primary care providers and a specialist and still leave without an answer. Blair changes that.

Our platform gives generalist clinicians the tools, protocols and clinical support to deliver specialist-grade care across menopause and perimenopause, urology and pelvic health, and nutrition, with weight loss coming soon.

To date, our focus has been women’s health. We believe all people should have access to specialist-level care, and we are opening our care to men, starting with weight management.

The Role

We’re looking for a commercially minded Internal Medicine or Family Physician to join our clinical leadership team as the Canadian Medical Lead for our weight management vertical. The vertical’s clinical protocols have been developed by our obesity medicine specialist; you’ll provide medical oversight across Canada as we launch and scale, making sure those protocols are delivered safely, consistently and in line with current Canadian guidelines.

You’ll report to our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Lindsay Shirreff, and work closely with our obesity medicine specialist, Dr. Pooja Singhal, and our provider group. As Blair Health expands, the role will include involvement in our other verticals.

• Location: Canada, virtual or in person
• Commitment: Part-time, 1–2 days per week
• Reports to: Chief Medical Officer

What You’ll Do

• Lead medical oversight of the weight management vertical in Canada, ensuring our established protocols and care pathways are implemented and followed consistently across the provider group.
• Keep protocols current, working with our obesity medicine specialist to review and update them as Canadian guidelines and evidence evolve.

  Must Have

  • Licensure and good standing in at least one Canadian province, ideally Ontario
  • FRCPC in Internal Medicine or CCFP
  • Clinical experience in obesity and weight management, including pharmacotherapy
  • CMPA coverage
  • Experience or interest in clinical leadership, quality improvement or clinical governance
  • Comfort supporting generalist clinicians in a protocol-driven, team-based model, virtually or in person

  Nice to Have

  • Licensure in additional provinces
  • French fluency
  • Compensation: competitive compensation
  • Flexibility: a part-time commitment of 1–2 days per week, virtually or in person
  • Leadership: a seat on the clinical leadership team of an early-stage company building clinical infrastructure that closes the specialist gap
