Family Medicine - Emergency Physician - Lunenburg

Full-time • Expected Hours: 1.0 FTE • Zone: Western Zone • Type of Remuneration: Longitudinal Family Medicine • Incentive Programs Available: Yes

Fisherman\'s Memorial Hospital (FMH) has a great opportunity for a Family Medicine Emergency physician to join their medical team. Emergency Medicine fellowship is not a requirement for this position. The Emergency Department is open from 7:30 am to 11:30 pm daily.

Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital (FMH) is an acute care community hospital that opened its doors to patients in 1952. Located in Lunenburg, FMH provides inpatient, outpatient, emergency, long-term care (LTC), and community-based services. It has 30 beds in addition to a 23-bed Veteran’s Unit. The hospital is well-equipped with basic diagnostic and treatment services: Point of Care lab testing, X-ray on site; other more extensive investigatory and consultant services at South Shore Regional Hospital 25 km away. Ambulatory Care has many itinerant consultant clinics with occasional consultant availability for urgent cases.

Requirements are up to date ACLS and PALS. An ATLS or Moulage course would be great as well, though our emergency department is almost totally non-trauma. Family physicians are also needed in the community and a mix of emergency and family medicine would be favourably considered.
