About the opportunity
Dalhousie University and Nova Scotia Health (NSH) invite applications for a 0.7 FTE academic family physician available in the Department of Family Medicine (Halifax). Candidates will be granted an academic appointment at Dalhousie University and be active staff with the Central Zone Department of Family Practice, Nova Scotia Health, and the IWK. This position offers exciting opportunities for professional development within academic family medicine in a dynamic department with over 800 community-based family physicians in 64 communities in the three Maritime provinces.

This position involves the provision of ambulatory, team-based, and comprehensive academic family medicine care including clinical supervision of medical learners. In addition to participating in collaborative team-based practice and clinical teaching, the successful candidate will have a lead role in clinical care and teaching with the Dalhousie Family Medicine (DFM) Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) service situated at the DFM Spryfield Clinic. Academic responsibilities will include the training and evaluation of family medicine residents and medical students while contributing to the academic development and administration of the Dalhousie University Department of Family Medicine. Furthermore, this position will include academic leadership for the Halifax Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Clinic at the DFM Spryfield clinic.

Interested candidates with little focused experience in IDD care are encouraged to apply. This position will be supported by way of mentorship by the incumbent through 2025. The successful candidate can expect to take on full responsibility for the position gradually over 2025.

The successful candidate must have CFPC certification and be a current and ongoing member of the College of Family Physicians of Canada. The successful candidate must also be eligible to obtain a full license to practice in Nova Scotia. Favourable consideration will be given to those applicants who have evidence of advanced academic competencies such as relevant Masters degrees or other Certificates.

Academic rank and remuneration will be commensurate with qualifications and experience, with an appointment commencing as early as January 13, 2025. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
