The Hospital for Sick ChilThe Hospital for Sick Children

SickKids is one of the largest children's hospitals in North America and a paediatric academic health sciences centre with a longstanding reputation for clinical care, research, and education. Fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, SickKids is located near the university campus, specialty hospitals, and biomedical research institutes. The organization is advancing a campus redevelopment project that includes a new acute care hospital tower.

Physician Assistants work as part of multidisciplinary health-care teams and can develop specialized expertise within a defined clinical service. SickKids values the contribution of Physician Assistants to clinical care, education, and innovation and provides an environment in which staff can develop their practice.

Toronto

Toronto is a multicultural and rapidly growing city. More than 51% of residents were born outside Canada, and more than 230 ethnic groups are represented across the city. Toronto has established life sciences, finance, information and communications technology, sports, and arts sectors. It is the fourth-largest city in North America and offers access to housing, schools, universities, outdoor recreation, and two major airports.

Practice Setting

Practice Description

The position is based in the General and Thoracic Surgery Program at SickKids. The Physician Assistant will work within the multidisciplinary inpatient team alongside paediatric surgeons, surgical trainees, nurses, nurse practitioners, dietitians, child life specialists, social workers, support clerks, and patient support services. The program provides continuous 24-hour service from Monday to Sunday and works closely with the SickKids Emergency Department, which cares for approximately 75,000 children annually, including more than 7,000 inpatient admissions.

Clinical Area and Patient Population.

The Physician Assistant will care predominantly for infants and children with general and thoracic surgical needs, including gastrointestinal conditions, colorectal cancer and surgical oncology presentations, perforated colon cancers, foreign bodies, wound infections, organ transplantation, short bowel syndrome, bowel obstruction, bowel ischemia, appendicitis, hernias, and trauma.

Position Summary

The Physician Assistant will provide inpatient and consultation support across a range of shift types. The role includes assessment and management of surgical inpatients, response to Emergency Department and inpatient consultations and trauma activations, initiation and follow-up of investigations, procedural first-assist responsibilities, pre- and post-procedural care, clinical documentation, family communication, discharge planning, and participation in quality, safety, education, and research-informed practice. The Physician Assistant will provide continuity for the service and serve as an accessible clinical resource for nursing staff when residents, fellows, or staff surgeons are in the operating room.

Key Responsibilities

Function as part of the General and Thoracic Surgery inpatient team and manage inpatients on the service.
Respond to surgical consultations from the Emergency Department and inpatient paediatric services and respond to trauma activations.

Assess and troubleshoot clinical issues as they arise and liaise with the most responsible physician as appropriate.
Complete clinical documentation and reports in the electronic medical record.
Review procedural plans; confirm required pre-procedural testing and communication; prepare pre-procedural assessment summaries and post-procedural reports; and support procedural first-assist activities.
Support inpatient, ward, and consultation management, including family meetings, home-care or rehabilitation forms, and discharge planning.
Guide children and families through treatment plans and provide health education tailored to family needs, learning styles, and developmental stage.
Identify appropriate community resources and services, support linkages, and assist with acquiring specialized equipment when required.
Use existing templates to develop medical directives that reflect the Physician Assistant scope of practice and support progression toward a model in which supervising physician co-signature is no longer required.
Contribute to clinical practice quality, safe care, and team development, including the Caring Safely initiative and strategies to reduce hospital-acquired conditions in the surgical population.
Identify, integrate, and evaluate research-informed innovations that improve patient care.
Attend weekly General and Thoracic Surgery educational and case review conferences and monthly quality conferences.
Participate in a customized paediatric Physician Assistant clinical curriculum and pursue continued learning through internal programs and external academic and conference supports.
Create, use, and disseminate new knowledge through formal and informal channels, mentor team members, and contribute to ongoing projects, with access to research training and career development through the SickKids Research Training Centre.
