Details:

The Department of Family Medicine, College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority welcomes applications for an Academic Family Physician.

This position will be based in the Department of Family Medicine’s Northern and Remote residency training stream, and will be located at Northern Connection Medical Centre (NCMC) within Seven Oaks General Hospital and NCMC’s satellite operation at 425 Elgin Ave. The teaching clinic operates under the umbrella of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

Winnipeg is the vibrant capital of Manitoba, and a diverse multicultural city known for its friendly and welcoming spirit. Manitoba has one of the largest Indigenous populations in Canada making up approximately 17% of its population. This is appreciated throughout the province via its expression in art, activities and cuisine.

NCMC’s patient population mandate includes any First Nations, Metis, or Inuit individual that is temporarily in Winnipeg and in need of primary care services. Its diverse patient population also includes urban First Nations, Metis and Inuit people, immigrants and newcomers to Winnipeg, persons with disabilities and LGBTQIA2S+.

This position offers the opportunity to work with a team dedicated to fulfilling the health care recommendations forwarded by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The vision of the team was gifted from an elder: Ni waa pa maa ka maan da wi zit wi chi koing chi mino ayain. This is an Anishinaabemowin phrase that roughly translates to “I see a vision of traditional healers healing our people.”

At Northern Connections we strive to promote a Two-eyed seeing model of health care that embodies Trauma Informed Care and Harm Reduction principles. We value the knowledge and lived experience of our patient community.

The successful applicant will also teach and supervise Family Medicine residents and other health care learners further supporting health equity and reconciliation. There also is opportunity to engage in scholarly activity and administrative work as negotiated.
