• Monitor dialysis adequacy, fluid management, and chronic disease treatment outcomes.
• Participate in interdisciplinary care planning with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and allied healthcare professionals.
• Provide clinical recommendations regarding specialist referrals, patient transfers, and urgent renal care needs.
• Offer virtual or telephone consultations between scheduled clinic visits when clinically required.

• Eligibility to provide medical services within a secure healthcare environment.
• Strong clinical judgment, communication, and collaborative care skills.
• Commitment to delivering safe, evidence-based, patient-centred renal care.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience providing nephrology services in hospital, institutional, or remote healthcare settings.
• Knowledge of infection prevention and control practices applicable to dialysis programs.
• Experience supporting quality assurance, accreditation, or dialysis program development.
• Familiarity with virtual consultations and remote clinical management.

Schedule and Level of Commitment

This position offers a flexible consulting arrangement designed to accommodate the successful candidate's existing professional commitments.

• Clinic frequency: Typically one to four scheduled on-site clinic days per month, depending on patient census and clinical requirements.
• Additional consultations: Occasional telephone or virtual consultations may be required between scheduled visits.
• Scheduling flexibility: Clinic days and service arrangements can be coordinated with the successful candidate.
• Future opportunities: Clinical hours and service frequency may increase as patient needs and program requirements evolve.

Compensation and Opportunity Highlights
