Recruitment for Adult Neurologist
Queensway Carleton Hospital (QCH) has an opening for one neurologist to join our collegial group.
The Neurology Division provides comprehensive adult neurology care, including inpatient consultations, ambulatory care clinics (general neurology and stroke prevention clinic), electroencephalogram (EEG), and electromyography (EMG) services. Our current model involves weekday coverage. However, as we expand, this will extend into weekends and evenings. QCH is not a tPA center, so stroke code coverage is not expected. The group can assist interested candidates in finding community clinic space, which will be needed to complete your practice.
Requirement
The candidate must hold a Royal College specialization in adult neurology.
