The Government of Yukon is seeking two additional physicians to provide service to the communities of Faro and Ross River.
The Faro and Ross River Health Centers are open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm during weekdays and is staffed with nurses practicing in an expanded scope, with rotating nurse call 24/7/365. Pharmacy services are limited to emergencies only with medication refills being mailed out or picked up in person from one of the Whitehorse pharmacies.
Limited point of care testing and x-rays for both acute chest and limbs can be performed on site. Labs are drawn and sent to Whitehorse General Hospital on a weekly basis, with all other diagnostics being referred out. The Health Centers also have Telehealth capabilities. Ambulance services are provided by Emergency Medical Responders 24/7/365 on a volunteer basis.
Under contract, each physician will provide a minimum of 7.5 hours for four consecutive days of clinic time, for a total of 30 hours per trip split evenly between the two communities. Visiting clinics occur twice a month, with physicians rendering services no later than 5:15pm daily. We are looking for two additional physicians to join the two physicians currently providing these services during these visiting clinics and to each provide service in Faro and Ross River once every two months. Physicians would work together and with the Nurse in charge on scheduling to ensure adequate coverage for the visiting clinics.
