The Department of Medicine and the Division of Medical Oncology at the University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital is looking for a Locum Medical Oncologist to join our team for the period of March 24, 2025 to October 13, 2025. The Locum will join a team of 28 physicians within the Division of Medical Oncology.

The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre is the primary provider of medical oncology services to a mixed urban and rural population of 1.5 million in Eastern Ontario, has approximately 4,000 new solid tumor medical oncology consults annually, offers a full spectrum of oncology services, and is a Canadian leader in oncology training and research.

The Ottawa Hospital is a 1150 bed tertiary-care hospital serving Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec at four inpatient sites (Civic, General, Heart Institute, and the Rehabilitation Centre) and one ambulatory centre (Riverside). There are approximately 50,000 inpatient admissions, 160,000 emergency visits and over one million outpatient visits annually.

The Department of Medicine is a research-intensive Department. Members currently hold 25 University Research Chairs. The Department receives approximately $60 million per year in external research funding and members publish approximately 1200 peer-reviewed publications annually.

The Faculty of Medicine is a nationally recognized leader, ranked among Canada’s top-tier medical faculties. As the most research-intensive Faculty at the University of Ottawa, the Faculty of Medicine contributes significantly to the University being ranked 5th in the country for total research revenues (Research InfoSource), routinely 2nd or 3rd in Canada for research intensity in Medicine/Science grants (McLean’s), and 4th in Canada for citations (2022 THE rankings). The University of Ottawa is the largest bilingual (English/French) university in the world and the Faculty of Medicine the first and largest bilingual medical school in Canada.

The City of Ottawa provides a thriving multicultural and bilingual environment. Ottawa boasts numerous cultural activities as well as readily accessible sporting and natural resources, making it an ideal family and healthy living environment.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will function as a locum medical oncologist. This position is expected to cover an existing practice treating predominantly genitourinary malignancies.

Qualifications

The successful candidate must hold an MD degree; be a member of, or be eligible to be a member of, the Canadian Medical Protective Association; have, or be eligible for certification in Medical Oncology by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and have, or be eligible for, licensure in Ontario. The successful applicant will be eligible to hold an academic appointment at the University of Ottawa within the Department of Medicine. Academic rank will be commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications and experience.

The University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital are bilingual institutions and therefore in the case of potentially successful candidates of equal ability, a bilingual (French/English) candidate would be preferred.

The income for this position is derived from a variety of sources including but not limited to clinical billings (fee-for-service), salary support (AFP) as well as honorariums/stipends. Health and welfare benefits including extended health, dental and disability insurance as well as life insurance are offered to full-time physicians.
