Program Description

We are a team of 6 urologists seeking a uro-oncology surgeon to join our group. Operative exposure will take place at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Center, as well as other regional hospitals such as Dryden Regional Hospital, Lake of the Woods Hospital, and Riverside Hospital. In-hospital ambulatory clinic time will be available for cystoscopies and minor procedures.

Description of Role

The main duties of the job include managing out-patient, day surgery, and in-patient urological cases, performing urological surgeries (including general urology), and providing regional coverage. Academic activities will involve research and grant submissions, teaching residents, participating in tumor boards, grand rounds, morbidity and mortality rounds, as well as service rounds. The candidate will also contribute to the strategic planning and service development of the Urology department.

It is essential that the candidate has a fellowship, or previous experience, in robotic oncology. The selected applicant will be responsible for performing the following procedures robotically: prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, nephroureterectomy, and preferably cystectomy.

Additionally, there is a significant caseload of general urological cases. Experience in laparoscopic surgery is also valued. The candidate will be an integral part of the NOSM University urology residency program, and as such, should have a strong interest in teaching.

Eligibility

Applicants should be eligible for a license with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
