Pediatrician

PEDIATRICIAN – Department of Pediatrics

The Department of Pediatrics, at Windsor Regional Hospital, is inviting applications for a full-time Pediatrician to join its General Pediatric program and a dedicated multidisciplinary team of subspecialists, nurses, and allied health professionals. Compensation for this position will be primarily composed of OHIP fee-for-service and Hospital on-call coverage stipend. The anticipated start date for this position is to be negotiated.

The Department of Pediatrics at WRH houses both a Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU), which provides a comprehensive in-patient service to a population of about 400,000 in Windsor and Essex County of South Western Ontario, as well as a range of ambulatory clinics. The 16- bedded CTU provides acute care for children with a wide variety of general pediatric conditions, including admissions locally from the Emergency Department, transfers from other hospitals within the region, as well as from the 22-bed Level 2C Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The ambulatory clinics, consisting of both general pediatric and subspecialty services, see around 10,000 clinic visits in a year. However, children needing pediatric intensive care and general surgery services are referred to regional tertiary children’s hospitals in London or Detroit. In recognition of the growing needs of the region, the Pediatric Program is part of the plans for a major reform of the Windsor-Essex Hospitals System, which includes construction of a state-of-the-art acute care hospital. WRH is actively planning to break ground on the new acute care hospital in 2026.  To learn more, go to http://www.wrh.on.ca/windsorhospitals

About Windsor and Essex County

The Windsor-Essex area is ecologically rich with extensive parkland along with a southwest location that extends warm weather activities such a golfing, gardening, and water sports.  Windsor offers the unique opportunities of a larger metropolitan area and the benefits of a smaller community. Living directly across the border from Detroit, Michigan places you on a cosmopolitan stage where arts, culture, big league sports, and entertainment are just moments away. Best of all, you can enjoy access to all of these big-city advantages while living in the relative tranquility (and low costs) of a much smaller, friendlier community.
