Original job description

Company Description

MacLeod Cares is seeking a Primary Care Physician to join our team at Mahone Bay Nursing Home, a 96-bed long-term care home located in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. We are proud to provide compassionate, person-centered care in a supportive community environment where Residents’ dignity, preferences, and quality of life guide decisions.

Job Description

The Primary Care Physician provides comprehensive, ongoing medical care in collaboration with the Home’s Nurse Practitioner, physician colleague, and interdisciplinary care team. The physician directs treatment based on clinical need and provides guidance to support evidence-informed care as Residents’ health needs change. In partnership with Residents, families, and substitute decision-makers, the physician helps make sure treatment decisions reflect each Resident’s goals and preferences.

The role includes weekly on-site rounds, participation in a rotating after-hours on-call schedule and attendance at two Pharmacy committee meetings each year.

Key Accountabilities

Provide primary care to Residents from admission onward, with follow-up as their health needs evolve.
Offer medical guidance to the interdisciplinary team on complex clinical concerns and support conversations with Residents, families, and substitute decision-makers about goals of care and end-of-life planning.
Contribute to quality improvement initiatives that support the team in putting evidence-informed practices and provincial long-term care standards into practice.
Share clinical expertise with staff through informal coaching and education on topics such as geriatric care, chronic disease management, and palliative care.
Liaise with specialists and other external healthcare providers to coordinate referrals, transitions of care, and follow-up.

Qualifications

Medical Degree (MD) and current registration/licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia or applicable provincial authority.
Experience in geriatrics, primary care, or long-term care settings strongly preferred.
Familiarity with Nova Scotia’s Continuing Care system and relevant legislation is an asset.
Demonstrated skill in interprofessional collaboration, communication, and person-centered care.
Professional liability insurance as required by Canadian Medical Protective Association.

Compensation

$5000 annual stipend
Fee for service billing as per MSI guidelines. The physician is responsible for submitting claims in accordance with Nova Scotia Medical Service Insurance billing rules.
