Description:

Shared Health (1502-155 Carlton Street, Winnipeg MB, R3C 5R9), The University of Manitoba, and Department of Surgery (business addresses noted below), are inviting applications for a Surgical Breast Oncologist to fill our labour shortage in Manitoba. Main job duties include diagnose and treatment of diseases, prescribing medications and treatment, ordering lab tests and x-rays and other diagnostic procedures, consulting with other physicians as required, which job duties encompass 70% of the position.

The successful candidate would also be eligible for appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, and appointed as a geographical full-time member of the Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba, which job duties encompasses 30% of the position. Job duties are required in English.

The clinical position will have its focus on the surgical management of breast cancer. Clinics will be run out of a nationally recognized Centre of excellence for the diagnosis and management of breast disease, with integrated services such as onsite diagnostic imaging and supportive services including specialized nursing, social work, dietitian, and lymphedema therapy. The Centre currently includes 7 surgeons and consultations are distributed equally via a central intake system. Close collaboration with plastic surgery for reconstruction is built into the system as well. Multidisciplinary case conferences run weekly with medical and radiation oncology from CancerCare Manitoba.

In addition, the surgical oncology service has a strong track record of exemplary resident and medical student teaching that we wish to continue.
