Our hospital group client operates six hospitals in the Grey Bruce region of Ontario, serving a population of over 170,000.

Thriving rural hospitals are also located in Lion's Head, Markdale, Meaford, Southampton and Wiarton, servicing a range of ambulatory, in-patient and emergency needs.

We are seeking two full-time Otolaryngologists to join their team. Specialist practices include outpatient consultations/follow-up, inpatient care and acute on-call service (acute services based at the Owen Sound).

Specialists provide collaborative care with other healthcare professionals and contribute to quality improvement initiatives within their scope of practice. The group provides opportunities for physicians to participate in medical education, teaching and mentoring residents and medical students and to pursue their research interests through the Office of Research.
