Job description

CLINICAL ASSOCIATE, HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY

DIVISION OF HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY

1-year TERM

CHEO/University of Ottawa


The Department of Pediatrics at CHEO, University of Ottawa is recruiting a full-time Clinical Assistant within the Division of Hematology/Oncology to fill a 1-year term beginning as soon as the position is filled. This position may be renewable pending funding.


The ideal candidate will be Royal College (Hematology/Oncology) certified or equivalent, who can provide inpatient and outpatient clinical services for infants and children with cancer and/or non-malignant hematologic disorders. The candidate will be expected to provide weekend daytime coverage as needed. While English is the language of the health record, functionality in French is an asset.


The Department of Pediatrics is affiliated with CHEO, the CHEO Research Institute and the University of Ottawa. Together, we provide outstanding patient care, leading research, and quality pediatric medical education. The Department of Pediatrics provides health care to newborns, children, and youth of the Ottawa area, as well as those from Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, Nunavut and parts of Northern Ontario (population of approximately 1.8 million). The Department of Pediatrics has 18 distinct divisions, which includes Hematology/Oncology.

The Division of Hematology/Oncology provides clinical care for general hematology/oncology as well as specialized care for children and adolescents with leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, solid tumors, hemoglobinopathies, bleeding and thrombotic disorders, bone marrow failure syndromes and conditions that require post-stem cell and/or cellular therapy care.

On a rotating basis, the Clinical Assistant Physician will provide the following types of care under supervision:

  • Inpatient Hematology/Oncology service coverage
  • Outpatient Hematology/Oncology service
  • Procedure room coverage for lumbar punctures with intrathecal chemotherapy and bone marrow evaluations
  • Weekend clinical coverage, depending on divisional needs

Clinical Assistants joining our team will have a unique opportunity to participate in the development and implementation of our emerging divisional programs through multidisciplinary collaboration, clinical innovation, and quality improvement. The role is particularly well-suited for physicians interested in developing an academic career in pediatric hematology/oncology or clinicians looking to build expertise in advanced therapies within a supportive, mentorship-focused academic environment. This position also offers an excellent environment for pediatricians seeking to build hematology/oncology expertise, develop procedural skills, engage in academic medicine, and help shape the future of pediatric hematology and oncology care at CHEO.

CHEO has an active and accredited Pediatric Hematology/Oncology residency training program. The division is also involved in education for pediatric residents and medical students. We are active members of many research networks nationally and internationally and are also involved in education research.

CHEO is a global leader in pediatric health care and research and the CHEO Research Institute is the fastest growing RI in Canada.

The University of Ottawa is Canada's largest bilingual institution of higher learning and research. The Faculty of Medicine offers a wide range of competitive educational and research programs in a dynamic learning environment with state-of-the art facilities. The Faculty is recognized as a national leader in medical education and ranks among the top faculties of medicine worldwide for research intensity and impact.

Ottawa is Canada's capital city, which blends the cultural diversity and vibrancy of a capital city with the warmth and atmosphere of a smaller community. We are committed to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion and indigeneity within our organization and the broader community.

Candidates for this position must have an MD and be eligible for licensing in the Province of Ontario. All qualified candidates are invited to apply; however, preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Priority will be given to candidates with certification with the Royal College of Physicians of Surgeons (Pediatric Hematology/Oncology). Equivalent training in other countries/jurisdictions will be considered.

Qualified candidates are invited to submit an application.

CHEO and the Department of Pediatrics are equal opportunity employers. We strongly encourage applications from individuals, including Indigenous peoples, those who identify as LGBTQ2S+, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities. If you require an accommodation during any phase of the recruitment process, please contact the Department of Pediatric Associates at DPAHR@cheo.on.ca. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential and will be handled in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
