In addition to the above, we would be interested in someone who would be excited about doing some in-office medication titrations for an important medication used in Parkinson’s disorder. This would involve working with patients in various neurologist offices around the GTA to get them to the optimal dosing for them. This would be done in close collaboration with the neurologist and this candidate will receive ample training and support from the pharma company.

Opportunities continue to evolve, so candidates should be flexible and excited for a part-time transitioning to a full-time role with a desire to co-create the role as it shifts.
