Description:
The Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine and University Health Network (UHN), and the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto are seeking to recruit 1-3 Academic Clinicians to be based at Toronto General Hospital (TGH) and Toronto Western Hospital (TWH). Increasing patient volumes on the General Internal Medicine Clinical Teaching Units has necessitated the creation of a resident-independent team known at UHN/SHS as the Acute Inpatient Medicine, or AIM Team. This team is under the auspice of the Division of General Internal Medicine (GIM) & Geriatrics at UHN/SHS. The successful candidates must currently hold or be eligible for a full-time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor with a position description of Academic Clinician at the University of Toronto, with a start date of July 1, 2027. The Academic Clinician position has a 90% clinical care component, with 10% of time devoted to a combination of scholarly activities (teaching, quality improvement, and administrative service). The combined responsibilities will depend on the successful candidates’ qualifications, experience, and the needs of the specific hospital site. The main clinical responsibilities of an AIM Academic Clinician include daytime inpatient Most Responsible Physician (MRP) work and nocturnist work at both TGH and TWH. As this program is expanding, there is the opportunity for additional service lines including non-MRP consult work, including consultations from the Emergency Department. In-house nocturnal clinical work is a requirement for this position (currently 12 - 16 nocturnal shifts per year for a 1.0 FTE). Including nocturnal work and weekends, total clinical work is in the range of 24-36 weeks per year as decided by the successful candidates, the Division Head of GIM & Geriatrics, and the AIM team leadership. The successful candidate will demonstrate flexibility and responsiveness across clinical sites and service lines. Responsibilities may encompass both consultative and MRP care for a variety of patients, including those receiving oncology, surgical, and nephrology care. As the AIM program continues to expand, team members will be expected to support the implementation of new service lines.
The successful candidates must hold MD qualifications, be certified (or be eligible for certification) by the College of Family Physicians of Canada or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in Internal Medicine or hold international equivalent and be licensed (or be eligible for licensure) by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The successful candidates will possess strong communication, organization and interpersonal skills. A strong interest and experience in hospitalist medicine would be an asset. Successful candidates will be appointed to the UHN Division of General Internal Medicine or the UHN Department of Family Community Medicine.
Academic rank, salary and contractual arrangements will be commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the successful candidates. Compensation will be within the usual income range for an academic hospitalist in the Province of Ontario (estimated range is $300,000-$350,000 per year), achieved through a combination of fee for service and stipends for nocturnal call shifts.
Applications will be accepted until December 15th or until the positions are filled. Interested individuals should submit their letter of intent, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information for three references to:
