The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is seeking a dedicated and compassionate pediatrician to join a well-established, team-based practice in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. This position offers a rewarding opportunity to provide a broad scope of practice including clinic-based care, in-patient hospital responsibilities, and emergency on-call. Yorkton Regional Health Centre is the only regional hospital in the southeast which means pediatricians see a wide range of cases without the congestion of a large urban center.

The pediatric team is supported by a broad range of services including pediatric therapies, autism spectrum disorder services, early childhood psychology, mental health, social work, dental services, and public health nursing. Strong connections with community-based supports such as KidsFirst and school-based programs ensure integrated, family-centered care.

Itinerant pediatric services may be required throughout the southeast portion of the province through on-site or telemedicine services.

Those currently in pediatric residency are encouraged to inquire about The Health Foundation of East Central Saskatchewan‘s “Resident Funding Program” in exchange for a return of service.

Yorkton offers a rewarding practice environment, community connection, and balanced lifestyle, ideal for pediatricians looking to make a meaningful impact in children’s health while enjoying a high quality of life.
