The hospital, which opened its doors in May 2019, is the referral centre for the Northwest Territories, has a population catchment of nearly 50,000 people, and sees 19,000 emergency department visits a year.

Why the Northwest Territories?

Located above the 60th parallel, the Northwest Territories awaits with seemingly endless lakes and unmatched vistas. The opportunities available in our communities are perfect for the outdoors enthusiast looking for adventure, a healthy work/life balance, and an escape from the hustle of the big city.

Home to the capital city of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife is a captivating mix of city life and untamed wilderness. Fully stocked with the essential businesses and services of a southern city, Yellowknife is also home to a vibrant art community, world-famous fish shacks, and our iconic houseboats of the Great Slave Lake.

  • CCFP with recent ER experience considered
  • ACLS and ATLS (or equivalent required)
