This role focuses heavily on growing the Nova Scotia provider community, establishing clinical operations within the province, and supporting physicians as they enter practice on the platform.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES (NOVA SCOTIA-FOCUSED)

Grow and Strengthen Nova Scotia’s Physician Presence

• Rocket Doctor is growing in Nova Scotia, and we're looking for a physician to lead it.

• Nova Scotia’s primary care gap is well known, and thousands of residents are waiting for a regular provider. Virtual care is part of how the province closes that gap, and this role puts you in a position to shape it. You will be the clinical voice for Nova Scotia inside a national platform, with direct input into product, workflows, and how care gets delivered in the province.
• Help build a strong provincial physician community and encourage ongoing clinical engagement.

Support Provincial Operations & Quality

• Review and refine clinical workflows specific to Nova Scotia to improve efficiency, compliance, and physician ease of practice.
• Maintain close communication with practicing Nova Scotia physicians, including active presence on Slack and participation in local meetings.

Strategic Specialty Leadership

• Serve as a clinical leader supporting the growth of Nova Scotia’s virtual care presence.
• Liaise with Nova Scotia health authorities, organizations, and partners as appropriate.
• Provide input on Nova Scotia-specific product needs, regulatory considerations, and physician experience improvements.

• Provide troubleshooting support on emerging physician issues across all provinces.
• Assist with communications and strategic updates for physicians and Rocket Doctor staff.

• Knowledge of Rocket Doctor’s EMR, platform extensions, and applicable privacy regulations in Canada and the United States (HIPAA, PHIPA, PIPEDA) is considered an asset.
• Handle all confidential company and patient information with discretion.

COMPENSATION:

• The position is estimated to be an average of 4 hours per week (negotiable) paid at $150 / hour. The dollar value of work will be paid via equity in the publicly traded parent company, which can be awarded to you personally or your corp, and deposited and traded within your investment / trading account.
