Triage of patients to be seen through the mobile and virtual clinics
Comprehensive primary healthcare (PHC) services to address gaps in care, working collaborative with local providers (e.g. existing primary care teams, ED’s, hospitals) to complement and enhance current services they are providing.
Urgent primary care access for same day / next day appointments to support people who don’t have a primary care provider.
More specialized services to meet the needs of a particular population like immunization offerings, well woman, etc.

As part of a collaborative team, HCPs will also participate in:

Cross-functional and team-based training
Collaboration with colleagues in person and/or remotely.
Creation of service definition, standards, and refinement

Education, Experience, and Licensing Requirements:

Healthcare provider accreditation in NS
Experience working in your field is an asset, but new graduates will also be considered.
