The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency operates prevention and early detection programs, conducts innovative research and provides safe, patient and family-centred care at our two comprehensive cancer centres - the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina and the Saskatoon Cancer Centre.
The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency is seeking internal and external applications for a Provincial Lead, Pediatric Oncology to lead this important service, building on the existing program strengths and leveraging the exciting opportunities for patients and families as the province looks forward to the opening of the Jim Pattison Childrens Hospital. Preference will be given to applicants who are certified in Pediatrics by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and additional certification in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, but equivalent qualifications may be considered.While pediatric benign hematology is not currently within the scope of our Provincial Pediatric Oncology Program, a program review is currently underway, increased integration of these specialties is expected in the near future, and thus familiarity with this area of practice is considered an asset.
The targeted start date for this position is early 2019. Successful applicants must be in good standing with their local regulatory bodies, and will need to be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan. In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada.
