Grand River Hospital (GRH) and St. Mary’s General Hospital (SMGH) are two separately governed hospitals that function as an integrated system, with well-defined and complementary clinical programs to serve both the local community and the region. As part of their integration strategy, the hospitals have a common medical staff, joint medical and administrative leadership positions, a common electronic health record system, and an integrated planning system. Each hospital has an acute care emergency department, as well as their own closed medical/surgical ICUs. Together, GRH and SMGH are sites for regional programs in dialysis, cancer care, cardiac care, and thoracic surgical care. 

The hospitals are seeking a locum infectious diseases physician who will work with three other ID consultants to provide inpatient consults for patients at both hospitals, as well as provide outpatient clinic services at GRH, for a wide range of medical and surgical infectious diseases issues. The locum position is for an estimated 6 months (until end of April 2022), potentially starting immediately (start date is flexible).
