Description:

The Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University and Capital Health are jointly recruiting a new academic and administrative leader for the University and District Division of Nephrology to be based at the QEII Health Sciences Centre.

Capital Health is the largest integrated academic health district in Atlantic Canada with approximately 11,000 employees and 1,000 physicians. Capital Health provides core health services to 400,000 Halifax region residents (40% of the population of Nova Scotia) and tertiary and quaternary acute care services to residents of Atlantic Canada. The QEII Health Sciences Centre is the principal teaching hospital affiliated with Dalhousie University, and a centre for health care research. The Division of Nephrology is an integral part of the Department of Medicine (consisting of 16 divisions) at Dalhousie University. It includes a large dialysis program which consists of two hospital based units within Halifax, as well as a satellite hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis program that covers a large part of Nova Scotia. At the present time, additional support is also given to Prince Edward Island for both pre-dialysis and dialysis care. Capital Health is also the Atlantic site for kidney and kidney/pancreas transplantation. There is active outpatient clinic activity in both general nephrology and renal transplantation. There are about 800-900 new referrals for outpatient nephrology care annually and 600 renal transplant recipients are followed annually.

To be considered for this position you bring significant leadership, clinical and educational skills and experience to this exciting role. You have an established record of accomplishments in clinical service and experience as a contributor in a multidisciplinary team. You will be an advocate for the Division of Nephrology and will work across the organization to ensure a positive environment and experience for patients, physicians and staff alike.  Your focus will be to direct and continue to develop the academic, educational and clinical mission of the Division of Nephrology. As well, division members have excellent opportunities for collaborative educational and research endeavors and a key role of the Head/Chief will be to ensure rewarding and fulfilling career development. Other requirements include Certification in Internal Medicine and Nephrology from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or equivalent with eligibility for licensure by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia.  Qualifications or expertise in the areas of basic science or clinical research such as outcomes research in the area of either transplantation or general nephrology/dialysis would be a definite asset.

There is a nephrology subspecialty training program. Research strength includes outcomes research in transplantation as well as clinical trial activity in the areas of transplantation and general nephrology including dialysis. There is an opportunity to increase clinical research activities in the area of general nephrology and dialysis. An academic appointment at the appropriate level will be granted in the Department of Medicine of Dalhousie University. The Department offers a competitive remuneration package under an alternative funding plan. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Dalhousie University is an employment/affirmative action employer.
