Job Posting: Anesthesiologist, South Health Campus, Calgary AB Job posting: Anesthesiologist, South Health Campus, Calgary AB About: The South Health Campus Section of Anesthesia in Calgary is our province’s newest academic hospital and we are looking for caring and talented anesthesiologists. We have a busy regional block room and play a central role in our city’s regional anesthesia educational programs. Full Canadian credentials are required. South Health Campus is a tertiary care center affiliated with the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine and is one section within the citywide Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative, and Pain Medicine. We provide anesthesia for a range of surgical specialties, including orthopedics, general surgery, ENT, plastics, gynecology, and obstetrics. Our department is highly collegial and collaborative with all surgical specialties, in part because of our vibrant regional anesthesia, acute pain, and transitional pain services. All permanent staff members are hired in the department at the level of Clinical Lecturer. Those seeking academic promotion are encouraged to do so and support is provided. Position Overview: We are looking for a 0.8 FTE staff anesthesiologist. The starting date for the position is flexible, but ideally by July 1, 2021. You would be expected to be involved in all clinical areas of the section, including: 1. Clinical anesthesia care in the operating rooms, pre-operative assessment clinic, acute pain consultation service, non-OR anesthesia services (e.g. kyphoplasty and other diagnostic imaging, endoscopy, women’s health outpatient clinics), and obstetrical anesthesia. 2. Teaching medical students, anesthesia residents, off-service residents, hospital respiratory therapists, RT and paramedic students, and other physician colleagues. 3. Participating in Section and Zone-wide educational activities (in both presentation and audience roles). 4. Participating in simulation and team-training exercises. 5. Participating in Section and Zone-wide administration and committee work at the discretion of the Section Chief and Zone Clinical Department Head. 6. As a citywide department, there is also an expectation of work at non-hospital surgical facilities, as well as other acute care sites, as required by the section or zone department. 7. Members are required to use the anesthesia electronic record. 8. Adhering to Section policies, including holiday and time off scheduling practices, as well as AHS Medical Staff Bylaws. 9. A commitment to our section’s mission and values, as well as our hospital’s four pillars. Calgary Highlights: Calgary is approximately 80km east of the Canadian Rockies and is located in the transition zone between the Rocky Mountain Foothills and the Canadian prairies. It is the largest city in Alberta, with a metropolitan population of 1,239,220 people (Statistics Canada, 2016). The city is large in physical area, consisting of an inner city surrounded by suburban communities of various densities. Calgary’s climate is greatly influenced by the city’s elevation and proximity to the Rocky Mountains. Calgary’s winters are broken up by warm, dry Chinook winds that routinely blow into the city from over the mountains during the winter months. Calgary has a vibrant theatre, art, food, sports and music community. It was designated as one of the cultural capitals of Canada in 2012. The city features an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars, cultural venues, public squares and shopping. Qualifications: The successful candidate will have their FRCPC in Anesthesia; demonstrate an ability to work effectively with a multi- disciplinary team; superior interpersonal communication skills; and a strong commitment to delivering innovative anesthetic care. The Pillars of South Health Campus include collaboration, patient and family-centered care, wellness, and innovation. Candidates must possess membership with the Royal College of Physicians of Canada (with current maintenance of certification) and must demonstrate a strong interest in teaching. Priority will be given to candidates with 5 years or more of clinical experience. Application process: Please submit your CV, a statement of introduction and interest, and three references. Only those candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. The candidate must be eligible for Licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. Must read, write and speak English. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and Permanent Residents will be given priority.

  • APL Memo- Calgary Zone Outpatient Lab Closures in Acute Sites
    MEMORANDUM DATE: April 15, 2020 TO: All Calgary Zone Clinical Trial and Research Study Teams FROM: Alberta Precision Laboratories RE: Urban Hospital Outpatient Labs KEY MESSAGES: Effective Thursday, April 16 the outpatient labs located at Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH), Peter Lougheed Centre (PLC), Rockyview General Hospital (RGH) and South Health Campus (SHC) will be closed. Patients will be re-directed to community Patient Service Centres. Staff will be deployed as appropriate. The safety of vulnerable patient populations and staff in the urban hospitals is a priority as we respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Closing outpatient laboratory collections within urban acute care sites will reduce the number of individuals entering these facilities, limiting the risk of COVID-19 transmission. An APL memo was distributed on March 25th, 2020 strongly recommending physicians cease ordering routine or non- essential lab work. This has already reduced volumes of patients attending outpatient collection locations. The postponement of elective surgery combined with the closure of most ambulatory clinics has already resulted in a decreased need for outpatient lab service. Re-directing lab collections for ambulatory and outpatients to community PSCs will limit traffic into acute care sites and allow for more appropriate physical distancing. ACTION REQUIRED AND COLLECTION PROCESS: Patients who continue to attend remaining ambulatory clinics at the hospital will have their urgent laboratory blood work collected by the onsite phlebotomy team. Tom Baker Cancer Centre patients will continue to receive service in the Special Services Building (SSB) outpatient lab at Foothills Medical Center (FMC) which will remain open. Clinical Trial and Research Study Patients who require KIT/ Research collections originally collected from an Urban Hospital Outpatient Lab will be redirected to go to the SSB Outpatient Lab located at the FMC.

  • Changes to Operating Hours at South Health Campus YMCA
    Frequently Asked Questions _______________________________________ Changes to Operating Hours at South Health Campus YMCA What changes are being made? Effective January 14, 2019, the operating hours of the South Health Campus will change to the following: Monday – Friday 5.30 am – 9:00 pm Weekends & Holidays 7:00 am – 5.30 pm * Workout areas will continue to close 30 minutes prior to closing hours Why are the hours changing? We have reviewed current usage patterns at South Health Campus YMCA and have determined that early mornings remain a popular workout time. However, late evening usage is limited. The new Brookfield YMCA at Seton (opening January 14, 2019) will offer additional amenities, programs and services not offered at the South Health Campus YMCA. To balance this and the limited late evening usage at South Health Campus YMCA, we believe we will be able to more efficiently serve the community at the Brookfield Residential YMCA in the late evenings. How does this impact AHS Staff who are YMCA Members? Alberta Health Services staff will continue to have 24hr access to the workout areas at the South Health Campus YMCA. However, after regular operational hours (identified above), the facility will not be staffed by the YMCA. Protective Services will continue to provide emergency support after hours. AHS staff who wish to have 24hr access should contact the YMCA Member Services team to schedule an orientation and set up card access. How does this impact YMCA Members who are not AHS staff? YMCA Members who are not AHS staff will need to access the South Health Campus YMCA during the new operational hours identified above.
