The Chief will be instrumental in preparing the Emergency Medicine program for significant organizational changes, including the opening of the new South Niagara Hospital, evolving models of care, and ongoing system integration efforts. This role also oversees physician HR planning, professional development, performance management, and academic and educational initiatives within the Department.
