The Department of Paediatrics, Children’s Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre and Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, is seeking two Academic Paediatricians to join our established Division of General Academic Paediatrics. The Division is composed of the Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU), which provides a comprehensive in-patient service to a population of about 1.5 million in southwestern Ontario, as well as an expanding range of ambulatory clinics. As the hub of a rapidly expanding tertiary children’s hospital, the CTU provides acute care for children with a wide variety of general paediatric conditions, including admissions locally from the Emergency Department, transfers from other hospitals within the region, as well as from the Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Units. In addition, children with complex care needs are cared for by a dedicated team composed of select CTU paediatricians, nurse practitioners and other allied health staff. The Division works closely with our subspecialty colleagues in a collaborative manner, in both clinical and research endeavours. The Division is central to the undergraduate and postgraduate training program at Western University, with key leadership positions in education currently being held by General Academic Paediatric faculty.
