Hospital Medicine (Hospitalist) Program, Department of Family Medicine, Alberta Health Services. The Hospitalist Program under the Department of Family Medicine with Alberta Health Services is pleased to invite applications for a temporary full time Associate Physician position at South Health Campus. The Calgary Hospital Medicine Service is the largest acute care medical service in the region, operating under the Section of Medical Inpatients within the Department of Family Medicine. We provide comprehensive hospital-based care to approximately 1,000 medical inpatients daily across four acute care sites in the Calgary Corridor. Our team of dedicated family physicians delivers high-quality, patient-centered care focused on timely assessment, evidence-informed treatment, and safe transitions of care. We are responsible for the admission, daily management, and discharge of adult patients requiring inpatient medical care who do not require a specialty admitting service. The Section of Medical Inpatients plays a vital role in supporting acute care capacity and enhancing the overall patient experience within Calgary’s health system through a strong commitment to clinical excellence, continuous improvement, and compassionate service.
Description:
The associate physician will provide comprehensive clinical care under the supervision of attending Hospitalist physicians. The primary anticipated role is to support the admitting physician team, particularly during periods of high service demand. As these roles are newly established, the successful candidates must demonstrate flexibility, adaptability,
and a willingness to evolve alongside the needs of the service. The associate physician may be deployed according to service needs, which may include admissions support, inpatient ward rounding, and discharge coordination depending on operational demands. This position is intended to be highly collaborative. The associate physician will work closely with Hospitalist physicians, nursing staff, allied health professionals, and subspecialists to provide coordinated and holistic patient care. Responsibilities include supporting patient admissions and initial assessments, assisting with inpatient management and care coordination, facilitating discharge planning and transitions of care, liaising with unit teams and patient families, communicating with primary care physicians and community providers to ensure continuity of care, and providing patient education regarding diagnoses, treatment plans, and discharge instructions on behalf of the attending physician.
