The OR, located at a local community hospital Soldiers Memorial (SMH) in Middleton, has a new Alcon microscope and Centurion and an outstanding surgical support staff, including an anesthetist. There is one full day per week of OR time available for cataract surgery. Additional minor procedure time is available at Valley Regional Hospital (VRH) located nearby and provides a wide range of services (24-hour ER, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, general surgery, urology, pediatrics, ENT, obs/gyn, orthopedics, vascular surgery).
The Nova Scotia Eye Centre (NSEC/IWK) is located in Halifax, approximately one hour away, and provides excellent and extensive sub-specialty care. Teaching opportunities exist at the NSEC as well as convenient access to numerous educational meetings.
The successful applicant will be a strong team player who can interact successfully with other team members of the staff and live locally. Overhead structure is a fixed percentage of billings.
