The Division of Vascular Surgery at Dalhousie University and Nova Scotia Health are seeking to hire a full time Vascular Surgeon based at the Halifax Infirmary. The Division is responsible for the delivery of vascular care for the entire province.  A mix of in-person (may require travel) and virtual care will be required to other health zones within Nova Scotia. Virtual assessments for interprovincial care may also be required.

The successful candidate will join five other full-time vascular surgeons in the division with on call duties to be divided equally. Candidates must possess strong technical skills in both open and endovascular surgery. There is a state of the art hybrid operating room, fully functioning vascular lab, multidisciplinary leg ulcer clinic, dedicated vascular clinic space, and a strong partnership with Interventional Radiology. Excellence in clinical care, a commitment to teaching and openness to mentorship if needed are required. Candidates must be committed to collaboration, professionalism, and a culture of respect with all members of the health care team.

The successful candidate must be fellowship/residency-trained and certified by the Royal College or equivalent in Vascular Surgery. Preference will be given to those with fellowships/additional training in the areas of limb salvage/preservation/complex wound care, complex venous disease, advanced endovascular training, those with a background in research/innovation/education.  The candidate must be eligible for licensure in Nova Scotia.  Renumeration is based on a competitive alternate funding plan.

The Department commits to achieving inclusive excellence through continually championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. The Department encourages applications from Indigenous persons (especially Mi’kmaq), persons of Black/African descent (especially African Nova Scotians), and members of other racialized groups, persons with disabilities, women, and persons identifying as members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.
