WHO WE ARE :

As the world leader in virtual care, Teladoc Health is passionate about taking care of people. We have been providing care in Canada for over two decades to more than 9 million Canadians and 85,000 plan sponsors. We deliver care across 190 countries (over 51 million members globally), living our mission to empower all people to live their healthiest lives by transforming the healthcare experience. Levering digital technology, we provide whole-person care that spans every stage in a person’s health journey from wellness and prevention to acute care to complex healthcare needs.

THE OPPORTUNITY :

Teladoc Health is increasingly partnering provincially to offer publicly funded services in an integrated manner, such as our recent work supporting primary and emergency care across 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 & acute care visions.

Teladoc Health is growing rapidly across the country, with a special focus on scaling up our Teladoc Acute Care Team (ACT). We are looking to build on our current team of Hospitalists and Emergency (ER) Physicians for our virtual programs as we scale our clinical impact further.

Teladoc’s ACT is in essence a pan-Canadian Rapid Response Team (RRT) for hospitals comprised of emergency and hospitalist physicians and flow coordination teams. Just as classic RRTs help patients avoid reaching critical state, so too do Teladoc’s provincial ACTs help health systems avert emergency department and in-patient unit closures.

Role and Responsibilities :

  • Evaluate, diagnose and treat patients presenting to Teladoc Health’s platforms
  • Provide support to multiple health facilities virtually (emergency departments or in-patient units)
  • Participate in huddles and handover sessions at start and end of shifts, as needed
  • Escalate cases as required to designated shift leader and / or medical leadership team
  • Collaborate closely with medical, nursing and management teams internally and externally
  • Advance relationship-based culture across team (physicians, nurses, allied health, managers)
  • Support team members across programs via other duties, as reasonably requested
  • Receive handover from prior medical team
  • Coordinate with nursing team to prioritize patients for the day
  • Round on designated in-patients
  • Formulate care plan for the shift
  • Order / coordinate with nursing team for labs and imaging and review results
  • Respond to issues that arise through the day
  • Interdisciplinary rounds if needed
  • Effective handover to next team

Qualifications :

  • Ideally +3 years of direct clinical experience as a Hospitalist Physician (will consider +1 year of direct clinical experience)
  • Current and unrestricted registration as a Physician in Canada (in good standing) - Must be registered with CPSBC, and have a CCFP designation (strong asset for CCFP(EM) designation)
  • Experience and demonstrated success working with diverse clinical care team members
  • Experience working in the digital health sector preferred
  • Must be currently residing in BC province
  • A desire to evolve the landscape of future healthcare – Teladoc Health’s culture values quality, innovation & accessibility!
  • History of strong clinical performance
  • A desire to serve as an ambassador regarding the clinical importance of virtual care
  • Those who are passionate regarding the delivery of high-quality and safe medical care
  • Proficiency with Electronic Medical Records and computer-based applications
