Key Accountabilities:
Key accountabilities of the Locum Clinical Physician in Interventional Pulmonary Medicine will include, but will not be limited to, chest clinic and bronchoscopy activities within the Interventional Pulmonary Medicine group at the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the University of Alberta Hospital. The successful candidate will participate in inpatient and consult services at the UAH and will contribute to the full spectrum of interventional procedures offered by the group, including EBUS, pleural procedures, and other advanced bronchoscopic interventions. The locum will support continuity of service during a 12‑month parental leave and help maintain access targets and program stability over this period.
This is a 12‑month locum position.
