Hospitalist Associates

The Oncology Program sees over 3,000 new oncology consults annually and provides care for patients at Brampton Civic Hospital and Etobicoke General Hospital, with a satellite clinic at Headwaters Health Care Centre. The program sees a wide variety of solid tumours and hematologic malignancies supported by 16 hematologists/oncologists.

The Division of Oncology in the Department of Medicine is recruiting for two part-time hospitalists, internists or general practitioners in oncology for an opportunity to join the current team of physicians that support inpatient oncology care. Our Oncology Unit located at Brampton Civic Hospital has 23 dedicated beds. In addition to inpatient management of complications of malignancy or treatment, we provide inpatient chemotherapy and manage patients post autologous stem cell transplantation in which standardized protocols have been created. Our Oncology Unit is supported by a rotating schedule of MDs supporting the unit, with a transition to have two MDs covering at a given time, in addition to nurse practitioners that have expertise in managing complex patients with solid tumours and hematologic malignancies. Additional supports include palliative care, allied health, malignant effusions program and access to radiation oncology. Back-up subspecialist support from medical oncology will be available when needed. Remuneration is supported a stipend, in addition to fee-for-service as set by the OHIP Schedule of Benefits and Fees.
