Stars Transport Physician

4 weeks ago

Saskatoon, Canada Saskdocs Full time

Job Description
The Transport Physician reports to the STARS Saskatchewan Medical Director and works with a team of highly skilled medical providers specializing in the care of critically ill and injured patients.
The Transport Physician will be an acute care practitioner (emergency medicine, anesthesia, ICU, trauma surgery) who will work with a Registered Flight Nurse, and Critical Care Paramedic either in person or on-line, to provide high quality care and service, which includes rapid response assessment, intervention, and safe transport of critically ill or injured patients of all ages from the scene of an accident or during inter-facility transfer. This service is provided twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days per week.
**Location**: Saskatoon Base (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service)
**Term**: One year locum term, starting ASAP. This contract may be eligible for a 3-year contract extension after the locum period.
**Anticipated time commitment**: 48 hours/month (call and base/flying time)
**Core Competencies**:
STARS Transport Physicians (TP) facilitate Critical Care Patient Transfers in Saskatchewan via both remote consult or by physically attending the patient.
STARS Transport Physicians do on average 48 hours of a mix of call and base time/month.
On-call can be remote; however, the TP must be able to respond within 15 minutes to a Helipad or base and be ready with flight suit, boots, and requisite gear.
All TPs must be available to be reached by cell phone immediately while on call or at base.
Base days are an expectation for all TPs and require the TP to be physically present for a period of the day shift (TBD) on the first Tuesday of every month if they are the TP on call that day, with availability to fly on all scene calls and interfacility transfers. In the near future, Base Days will become weekly and the specific day may change. Currently, each TP will be expected to attend a minimum of 1 Base Day per year.
Phone calls are primarily comprised of Interfacility Transfer Requests where the TP ensures that the patient is medically suitable for transport, that the most suitable transport modality is assigned, and that the most appropriate medical expertise accompanies the patient. Scene calls involve the TP when the Air Medical Crew requests online consultation from the patient side for patient updates and management plans or dispositions. Complex scene calls (Mass Casualty Incidents) will also require TP consultation and/or presence.
TPs may periodically need to fly on fixed-wing flights and use ground ambulances to aid in critical care patient transfers.
TPs will be required to participate in a process of performance review at regular intervals as a means of supporting continuing learning and effectiveness in the role.
TPs are also required to provide over-the-phone medical control for Saskatchewan Air Ambulance when on call and when required.
Undertake additional duties as required (Educational Rounds presentations; Foundation/Charity presentations; attend TP Meetings and updates).
Job Qualifications
**Qualifications & Required Experience**:
Be an acute care practitioner in Emergency Medicine, Anesthesia, ICU, or Trauma Surgery;
Be licensed to practice in Saskatchewan with an active certificate of registration for independent practice and in good standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan;
Be certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or the College of Family Physicians of Canada;
Understand Saskatchewan's critical care and Red Patient Referral transfer systems;
Demonstrate commitment to quality assurance and quality improvement;
Have a thorough knowledge of current and new/emerging quality guidelines and standards for critical care transport and pre-hospital medicine;
Demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills;
Have a demonstrated track record of leading high acuity teams;
Participate in a process of performance review at regular intervals, as a means of supporting continuing learning and effectiveness in the role.
Training, education or experience in transport medicine will be considered an asset.
Additional Information
**How to apply**:
STARS thanks all applicants for their efforts in advance. Only applicants selected for interview will be contacted.
