Regional Medical Director ROSC Solutions Group (RSG) ROSC Solutions Group (RSG) is seeking an experienced medical leader to help build and lead a sustainable, recovery-oriented medical model across our growing continuum of services. This role combines advanced medical practice, withdrawal management, people leadership, education, medical governance and program development. The successful candidate will help establish consistent standards of care, develop future Nurse Practitioners and nursing teams, and build a medical model capable of supporting RSG's continued growth. The Regional Medical Director will be primarily based at New Beginnings, providing medical leadership to our 12-bed withdrawal management/detox program, while also providing regional medical leadership and NP support to our 100-bed Lakeview Recovery Community and future RSG sites. Regular travel between sites will be required. The Medical Director will also provide virtual medical and on-call support to ensure teams have timely access to advanced medical guidance. This role is situated within Indigenous-focused health and recovery services. A demonstrated commitment to cultural humility, anti-racist practice, Indigenous self-determination, and trauma
- and violence-informed care is essential. A significant priority of this role will also be developing the people and systems required for RSG's future medical model. This includes strengthening RSG's relationship with the University of Alberta NP program, creating meaningful learning opportunities for students, developing newly qualified and recruited NPs, strengthening nursing practice, and supporting interdisciplinary teams. Key Areas of Responsibility Medical Leadership & Withdrawal Management Provide advanced medical leadership across RSG programs, with a significant focus on safe,



evidence-informed withdrawal management. Responsibilities include:
- Assess and manage individuals requiring withdrawal management and detoxification services, including complex presentations, concurrent disorders and medical comorbidities.
- Prescribe and manage medications within professional scope and establish consistent medication-management practices.
- Develop and maintain standardized withdrawal monitoring, admission, exclusion, escalation and transfer criteria.
- Provide medical consultation and complex case review to nursing and interdisciplinary teams.
- Establish appropriate medical escalation, after-hours and on-call support pathways.
- Support continuity of care as individuals transition from withdrawal management into residential treatment, community services and longer-term recovery.
- Provide medical leadership and support to RSG's residential programs and future sites through a combination of onsite and virtual care. People Leadership, NP Development & Education A major responsibility of this position will be developing RSG's future medical workforce and building internal capacity rather than creating a model dependent on one practitioner. The Regional Medical Director will:
- Provide leadership, mentorship and medical oversight to NPs, nursing teams and medical staff.
- Support recruitment, onboarding, performance management,



competency development and succession planning within medical and nursing teams.
- Develop a structured orientation, mentorship and competency pathway for newly graduated and newly recruited Nurse Practitioners entering addiction medicine.
- Establish progressive independent-practice expectations and provide mentorship and complex case consultation as NPs develop their competencies.
- Build and maintain a strong relationship with the University of Alberta Nurse Practitioner program and other academic partners.
- Coordinate NP student placements and provide or oversee preceptorship, mentorship, evaluation and meaningful learning opportunities in addiction medicine and recovery.
- Develop academic partnerships as a sustainable recruitment and workforce-development pathway for RSG. Interdisciplinary Education & Capacity Building The Regional Medical Director will help build a secure and effective interdisciplinary model for withdrawal management. Working collaboratively with internal and external partners, the Medical Director will:
- Develop and implement structured withdrawal-management education and competency pathways for Recovery Coaches and other appropriate team members.
- Clearly establish which supportive functions can appropriately be performed by Recovery Coaches and which assessments, medication decisions, restricted activities and interventions must remain with regulated healthcare professionals.
- Establish competency assessment, refresher education, medical supervision and escalation requirements.
- Develop education for nursing and interdisciplinary teams in areas such as addiction medicine, withdrawal management, concurrent disorders, medication management, risk assessment and recovery-oriented care.
- Support staffing models
