Clinic/ER, Rural Community

April 1st - May 5th, 2025 

There is a six inpatient bed hospital with 24h ER, and basic lab/X-Ray services. Docs do 24h call for ER; the on-call doctor sees ER and clinic walk-ins, but can be at home outside of clinic hours. Call is on average 1-in-4.5.

Nearest OR and basic specialty services is Whitehorse, 6h away.

Weekdays 9-5 in clinic and/or ER are remunerated by contract at a generous daily rate while afterhours and weekend billing is fee-for-service, plus an ER call stipend.

Private billings paid at 100%.

To work here, you should be comfortable working in a rural, remote ER and have had ACLS and ATLS training. PALS, though not necessary, would also be an asset. We support one another with difficult cases, complex procedures, etc. Physicians also have the option to provide occasional support to EMS for helicopter extractions at remote sites. Licensure with the Yukon Medical Council and Hospital Privileges are required. A taste for wild mushroom and berry foraging, live music, mountain biking, hunting, canoeing, cross-country skiing or hiking are not required but will likely develop when you’re here!

For more information about living and working here, have a look at our clinic website.
