Description:
The Calgary AHS Sexual and Reproductive Health clinics are recruiting a permanent physician with a varying FTE of no more than 0.4.
Sexual and Reproductive Health clinics provide service primarily to youth and young adults (age 29 and under) as well as those with barriers to care such as: requiring translation services; no Alberta Health Care; unable to afford contraception; requiring access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis.
Sexual and Reproductive Health clinical services include: contraception counselling, prescribing and dispensing; STI testing and treatment; IUD and contraceptive implant insertion and removal; pregnancy testing and options counselling (parenting, adoption and abortion); non-forensic sexual assault care; post-abortion care; HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis. Clinics are located at Sheldon M. Chumir Health Centre, South Calgary Health Centre, The Summit: Marian & Jim Sinneave Centre for Youth Resilience and Sunridge Professional Building.

The physician will work at both the Sunridge Professional Building SRH clinic (Fridays, 10:00-16:15) and the South Calgary Health Centre clinic (every second Tuesday, 16:00-20:45).
The physician will also be able to cover occasional shifts for other physicians when needed. Remuneration is provided by a sessional ARP, and is calculated on an hourly basis.
