This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced and accomplished individual with demonstrated leadership, clinical and academic credibility, and strategic vision to direct and manage clinical and academic affairs in the Department within an integrated health system.

IWK Health provides quality care to women, children, youth, and families in the Maritimes and beyond. It is engaged in leading-edge research, works to promote healthy lifestyles for families, and supports education opportunities for health professionals and other learners. Services provided by IWK Health are delivered through three programs: Children's Health, Mental Health and Addictions, and Women's and Newborn Health.

The Department of Diagnostic Imaging is comprised of pediatric radiology, pediatric radiology subspecialties, and women’s imaging.
