Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada STARS Full time $150,000 - $200,000 per year

At STARS, we come to work every day with a purpose…to save lives. Whether you work in the aircraft or at one of our six bases, everyone at STARS plays a vital role in helping to provide critical care, anywhere. Since flying our first mission in 1985, we have never lost sight of what is most important – our VIPS, or Very Important Patients. Each year, we fly over 3,000 missions, providing worldclass critical medical care whenever and wherever we are needed, and every team member contributes to helping that VIP. We are a lifeline to the community when time and clinical expertise can make all the difference.

We are currently looking for a
Transport Physician at our Saskatoon Base (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service)
Term: (One-year locum, 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)
Position Summary
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.

Key Areas of Involvement
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.

Core Competencies:

  • STARS Transport Physicians (TP) facilitate critical care patient transfers in Saskatchewan via both remote consult or by physically attending to patient(s);
  • STARS Transport Physicians do on average 48 hours of a mix of on-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. You must have availability to fly on all scene calls and interfacility transfers. The first Tuesday of the month is currently designated but this may shift from Tuesday to different day. In the near future Base Days will become weekly and the specific day may also 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 request online consultation from patient side for patient update and management plan or disposition. 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).

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;
  • Experience and/or training in pre-hospital environment and transport medicine will be considered a strong asset;
  • 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.

At STARS, every day we come to work with a purpose, to save lives. When you join STARS, you become part of the community that knows we are stronger together. It takes a team to deliver the highest standards of care, and we need you to help us be our best.

As this position has been identified as safety sensitive, employment of the preferred candidate will be conditional upon successful completion of required pre-employment alcohol and drug assessment.

How to apply:
If you are the person we are looking for and would like to make a difference with your career, be sure to forward your expression of interest and curriculum vitae electronically, to: Dr. Dallas Pearson, Saskatchewan Medical Director at: no later than 5 pm MST on
October 20, 2025.
