**Position Description**
This announcement relates to the posting of a Physician Assistant (PA) to work with the Thrombosis Program at The Hospital for Sick Children.

The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick

Kids) is one of the largest paediatric academic health sciences centres in the world.

The Thrombosis program started circa 1987, evolving to cover both inpatients and patients followed in the clinic, being the first program of this kind in the world to provide 24/7 clinical coverage exclusively related to children diagnosed with thrombotic disorders.

The PA will work within a multidisciplinary team primarily on the inpatient Thrombosis service under the supervision of Thrombosis staff physicians.

The focus will be on the care of children considered at high risk of developing a thrombotic complication, patients newly diagnosed with a thrombotic event, and those receiving an anticoagulant.

Of note, some of the thrombotic scenarios may be life threatening and involve high complexity discussions (i.e., placement of vessel stents, use of fibrinolytics, anticoagulation during extracorporeal support therapy [e.g., ventricular assist devices]).

In addition to seeing admitted patients, outpatient activity for children on short-/long-term anticoagulants who are being monitored for thrombotic sequelae, or who are at high risk/seeking counselling for their perceived hypercoagulability, will also be part of the clinical duties.

The position includes completing detailed clinical assessments of children, implementing medical directives, coordinating appropriate laboratory and/or imaging investigations, reviewing cases within the medical team,



and completing related administrative clinical documentation.

Reporting to the Thrombosis program Clinical Director, you will work collaboratively with faculty, trainees, clinical programs, and the multidisciplinary teams across Sick

Kids.
