Health Sciences North (HSN) is seeking an innovative individual for the position of Occupational Therapist to use a holistic, client, and family-centred approach to optimize safety, functional ability, and well-being to enable participation in activities of daily living within the areas of self-care, productivity (e.g. work, home, and school) and leisure. This candidate will also emphasize the physical, cognitive, affective, and spiritual components of clients’ functional performance and the physical, institutional, social,

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

The clinic is open to patients over the age of 18 through referrals by a primary care provider (PCP). The Integrated Chronic Pain program accepts referrals for patients living in Northeastern Ontario. We are a Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) OHIP-referral funded program.

In our model of care, PCPs play an active role in the treatment of their patients. We provide education-based programing to patients in order to support self-management of their chronic pain condition.

This program integrates an inter-professional team (Registered Nurse, Occupational Therapist, Pharmacist, Physiotherapist, Recreational Therapist, Kinesiologist, Case Manager and Social Worker),



with a focus on rehabilitation, self-management and setting functional goals in a group environment. Patients are expected to have an active role in their care.
