Description
The Division of General and Gastrointestinal Surgery in the Department of Surgery at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia Health and IWK Health are seeking to hire a full-time academic Breast and General Surgeon. This position will have its clinical base at the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia with breast clinics and surgeries at the IWK Women’s Health Center. The QEII Health Sciences Centre is the tertiary referral and quaternary care centre for approximately 2.5 million people in the Atlantic Provinces. Clinical work will be focused on breast surgery (70%) but will include a component of general adult surgery (30%).
The successful candidate will be part of a breast surgery team consisting of 4 General Surgeons. The individual will be required to have experience in teaching and training other healthcare providers in all stages of training. The ability to work in a high volume clinic with strong communication, professionalism and time-management skills is required. This position will work in a multidisciplinary clinic with nurse navigators, genetics, plastic surgery and radiology. Experience in seed localizations, sentinel node, skin and nipple sparing mastectomies, benign and malignant breast conditions and oncoplastic experience is welcome.
The candidate must be eligible for licensure in Nova Scotia and have training in general and breast surgery.
Remuneration is based on a competitive alternative funding plan.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. The Department of Surgery commits to achieving inclusive excellence through continually championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. The Department encourages applications from Indigenous persons (especially Mi’kmaq), persons of Black/African descent (especially African Nova Scotians), members of other racialized groups, persons with disabilities, women, and persons identifying as members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.
