IWHC is an independent sexual health clinic focusing on healthcare delivery to women from all communities across the City of Toronto. We are a fast-paced, walk-in clinic that offers free clinic services, information and outreach for a wide range of women’s sexual health issues with a multilingual, all-female staff; our services are provided in a women-friendly and culturally sensitive environment.
We are a sexual health clinic only; our mandate is very narrow. We do not provide primary health care OR pre-natal care. Physicians who work at our site clinic or on our Mobile Health Clinic work in close contact and collaboration with IWHC's counselling staff. Due to the nature of our clinic, we require physicians applying to locums at our site to be able to draw blood and give intramusuclar injections as we do not have nursing staff as part of our team; ability to do IUD insertions is preferred.
