About the Opportunity

Nova Scotia Health Authority's innovative Care by Design program aims to provide high-quality and consistent primary care to residents of long-term care facilities. This collaborative team strives to achieve quality of life for our most frail seniors and an appropriate healthcare approach to meet their health needs.

Care by Design physicians will join dozens of existing family physicians in a network that promotes continuity and quality of resident care in long-term care facilities. By ensuring better safety of residents' medication regimens, reducing transfers to emergency departments, and empowering residents to be participants in their care planning, Care by Design seeks to improve overall patient outcomes.

As a physician with Nova Scotia Health Authority, you will have the opportunity to work in a supportive environment that values collaboration, quality improvement, and resident-centered care. Our goal is to empower physicians to deliver exceptional patient care while promoting their professional development and well-being.

The Care by Design program offers various benefits, including minimal travel, improved communication with facilities and residents, and robust on-call services. Physicians are assigned to one geographical network, allowing for efficient training, supportive quality improvement opportunities, and more effective care coordination.

We are currently seeking Primary Care Physicians to fill immediate opportunities in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, and West Hants. If you are passionate about delivering high-quality patient care and committed to improving the lives of our most vulnerable citizens, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding opportunity.

  • Deliver comprehensive primary healthcare services to patients of all ages and stages of health or illness, with a particular focus on geriatric care.
  • Round on patients at the long-term facility no less than once a week and be on call between 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday - Friday.
  • Work with other providers in the geographical network to provide evening and weekend coverage.
  • Utilize an electronic medical record (EMR) and record all relevant patient details in a provincially approved EMR accessible to all collaborating team members.
Requirements
  • Be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia (CPSNS).
  • Meet the qualifications for certification with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC).
  • Maintain membership with the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA).
Estimated Salary Range:

$100,000 - $150,000 per annum, based on experience and location.
