Yellowknife offers an unparalleled lifestyle, with its close-knit community and endless outdoor adventures. We are currently looking for locum Emergency Medicine Physicians to join our team at the Stanton Territorial Hospital Emergency Department. Stanton Territorial Hospital serves as the referral center for the Northwest Territories, catering to a catchment population of nearly 50,000 people. Our modern facility, which opened its doors in May 2019, provides state-of-the-art resources for delivering exceptional patient care.

As an Emergency Medicine Physician, you’ll play a pivotal role in our dynamic team, handling a diverse caseload and having the opportunity to work exclusively in the ER or combine ER duties with other services such as hospitalist, clinic, or community practice. There are several local specialists that support the ER, with 24/7 coverage from Anesthesia, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, General Surgery, Obs/Gyn, and Radiology.

Locum physicians receive a newly increased guaranteed daily rate (with no practice-management or overhead), travel stipend, and accommodations. Travel bookings are completed by the health authority directly.

This job typically requires either FRCPC or CCFP-EM certification. However, CCFP certified physicians with appropriate and recent Emergency experience will be evaluated and considered. ACLS and ATLS or evidence of equivalent training and skills are required, and candidates must be eligible for licensure to practice in the Northwest Territories.
