Are you a Family Physician looking for a supportive team without the hassles of a fee-for-service practice? Does the idea of a salaried contract, recruitment bonuses, generous benefits (including retirement benefits), paid CME, and relocation assistance sound attractive to you
We are currently looking for permanent and locum Emergency physicians with CCFP-EM certification to join our staff. We would consider physicians without CCFP-EM designation who have appropriate experience. There are opportunities for physicians who want to work exclusively in the ER, as well as those who want to combine ER work with hospitalist work or clinical practice.
Stanton is the referral hospital for emergent cases throughout the Northwest Territories and the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. This gives our Emergency Department a total catchment of 50,000 people covering 15% of Canada’s total land area! It is a busy single coverage department, with about 18,000 patient visits per year. There are several local specialists that support the ER, with 24/7 coverage from Anesthesia, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, General Surgery, Obs/Gyn, and Radiology.
Patients are flown to Stanton from the communities or flown out of Stanton to Edmonton for treatment not available by our resident Specialists. The Emergency Department also provides virtual assistance to the Community Health Nurses of the surrounding communities via TeleHealth. With the assistance of Cultural Liaisons available at the Stanton Territorial Hospital we are able to provide culturally appropriate and medically necessary care to our entire population, no matter the language they speak.
Annual Salary range of $427,261—$460,837 including benefits plus bonuses of $25,000 - $100,000 (In effect April 1, 2025).
