**About the Opportunity**

Dalhousie University’s Medical School serves the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, and for selected pediatric services, Newfoundland and Labrador. IWK Health is an internationally recognized academic health sciences centre located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As one of two provincial health authorities in Nova Scotia, IWK Health is shaping, cultivating and stewarding the health agenda for families and has charted an ambitious course to world-class outcomes. The Department of Pediatrics encompasses a full range of pediatric subspecialties and has active teaching and research programs in both clinical and basic science. Nova Scotia Health, the largest health authority in Nova Scotia is responsible for providing pediatric services outside of IWK Health.

The Head and Chief provides dynamic leadership, and vision to meet the goals and objectives of IWK Health ensuring the highest quality of care, education and research aligned strategically and operationally to meet the needs of an integrated health system. The incumbent must be a strategic systems level thinker with excellent interpersonal skills to negotiate, nurture and leverage opportunities that maximize productivity through collaboration, partnership and integration of academic and clinical practice.

Halifax, Nova Scotia is a vibrant and growing ocean-front city with a population of approximately 500,000. Halifax boasts diverse neighbourhoods many of which are an easy walk, bike, or short drive to IWK Health. Enjoy many excellent restaurants and cafes as well as frequent community events around the city. A quick drive outside the city will bring you to spectacular beaches, vineyards, hiking and mountain bike trails, sailing, surfing, and other outdoor adventures. We are located in Mi’kma’ki, the unceded and ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people. Working in Mi’kma’ki and providing care to those across Atlantic Canada is a shared privilege with the original inhabitants who have lived here for many thousands of years prior to colonization. There are 13 First Nation communities across Nova Scotia, and more than 50 historic African Nova Scotian communities who also have a long, deep, and complex history dating back over 400 years. Nova Scotia has the highest percentage of people with disabilities and the highest proportions of transgender and non-binary people in the country. We are active in our work to eliminate discrimination but have more work to do to build that trust, acknowledge our biases and reduce the barriers our diverse communities face.
