About LymeScreen.ca

LymeScreen.ca is a Canadian physician-founded virtual healthcare platform specializing in timely assessment of tick bites, Lyme disease prevention, and treatment.

Our platform combines structured patient intake questionnaires with AI-assisted clinical decision support to streamline clinical assessments while ensuring that all treatment and prescribing decisions are made independently by qualified healthcare professionals.

We are expanding our services into Nova Scotia and seeking a licensed Nurse Practitioner to join our growing virtual care team.

Position Overview

We are looking for a Nurse Practitioner interested in flexible, remote clinical work that can be performed alongside an existing practice or other professional commitments.

Initially, patient volumes are expected to be relatively low, with assessments reviewed as they become available based on mutually agreed availability.

Qualifications

- Current Nurse Practitioner registration and authorization to practise in Nova Scotia.

- Experience in primary care, urgent care, or infectious disease management preferred.
- Familiarity with Lyme disease guidelines and tick-borne illnesses is an asset.
- Comfortable using electronic medical records and virtual care technology.

Initial phase:

- Compensation per completed clinical assessment.
