Teladoc Health Canada has exciting opportunities for Canadian licensed physicians across primary care, acute care, and many areas of specialty care, to join a rapidly growing Canadian team of virtual practitioners to help shape the future of healthcare from coast to coast.

Provinces across Canada are engaging in dialogue and asking for support as our health system faces an emergency and primary care crisis. Teladoc Health is increasingly being asked to support provincially funded care delivery and as such is further building up clinical teams across the country.

Serving over 9 million Canadians for more than 20 years, Teladoc Health is the world leader in virtual care, operating in 175 countries, founded with the vision to create a world where great healthcare is always within reach. We are dedicated to caring for Canadians and our virtual physicians provide healthcare in several service areas, from general telehealth services and expert medical services to mental health services.

Clinician engagement, clinical quality, patient safety, and healthcare innovation are crucial pillars to our overall mission as we seek impactful and connected healthcare across the country.

The Opportunity :

Teladoc Health Canada is looking for Hospitalists to join our clinical team as we grow rapidly across the country with a special focus on scaling up our Teladoc Acute Care Team (ACT). This is an opportunity to support patients in their own communities with quality healthcare and to add capacity to existing systems.

Currently, Teladoc partners provincially to offer publicly funded services in an integrated manner, such as through our recent work supporting primary and emergency care in Newfoundland and Labrador. In such settings, we are intent on delivering a first point of contact to comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous patient care, helping provinces integrate and expand their virtual primary care and acute care visions.

The Hospitalist works collaboratively with onsite nurses and other clinicians to treat patients via Teladoc Health remote devices. The technology features a high-definition camera to recreate a doctor-patient experience when conducting virtual visual examinations, a four-speaker audio system for clear dialogue, and the ability to connect to peripherals which facilitate virtual assessments, such as stethoscopes, otoscopes, and hand-held exam cameras.

Role and Responsibilities :

• Join a team of Hospitalists working with onsite clinicians to bring additional support to general wards virtually.
• Receive handover from prior medical team.
• Formulate plan for the shift, distributing cases between in-person and remote physicians.
• Coordinate with nursing team to prioritize patients for the day.
• Round on designated in-patients with nursing staff (in-person and remote).
• Evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients according to presentation and needs.
• Order / coordinate with nursing team for labs and imaging and review results.
• Escalate cases as required to designated shift leader and / or Teladoc medical leadership team.
• Respond to lab and imaging results or other issues that arise through the day.
• Participate in additional huddles and interdisciplinary rounds, as needed.
• Effective handover to next team.
• Collaborate with medical, nursing, and management teams on site and remotely.
• Advance relationship-based culture across team (physicians, nurses, allied, managers).
• Support team members across programs in other duties, as reasonably requested.
