Call arrangements will be discussed with the successful candidate. As a GFT, the position includes a dedicated commitment to resident education and/or research.

With a history spanning nearly 30 years, the Shared Health Breast Health Centre is one of Canada's longest-established multidisciplinary breast clinics. The centre brings together diagnostic services, specialized nursing, social work, dietitian services and lymphedema therapy, with coordinated access to reconstruction, genetics and medical and radiation oncology. Shared electronic charting supports continuity of care and collaboration. The centre currently houses six surgeons, with expansion planning well advanced to enhance the clinic environment and meet growing demand.

Qualifications:

Candidates must be certified or eligible for certification in General Surgery by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in breast surgery and oncoplastic procedures, strong collaborative skills, and a commitment to resident education and quality improvement.

Winnipeg combines a rich cultural life with access to exceptional outdoor recreation. The city offers fine dining, symphony, opera, dance, theatre, cultural festivals and professional sports. Manitoba is a world-class destination for wilderness adventure, including canoeing, hiking and fishing. Nearby lakes and cottage country offer opportunities for seasonal retreats and year-round recreation. This position offers the opportunity to combine a substantial breast surgery practice and academic career with the cultural and natural attractions of Manitoba.

The University of Manitoba is committed to the principles of equity, diversity & inclusion and to promoting opportunities in hiring, promotion and tenure (where applicable) for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous Peoples, women, racialized persons, persons with disabilities and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities). All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.

The Rady Faculty of Health Sciences is committed to the social justice principles of equity, access & participation and to promoting opportunities in hiring, promotion and tenure (where applicable) for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous Peoples, Black, racially marginalized communities, disabled persons and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities).

An inclusive, open and diverse community is essential to excellence and fosters voices that have been ignored or discouraged. To address the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences commitment to equity, access and participation, and in recognition of the underrepresentation of members of historically and currently excluded groups, we take proactive measures including implicit bias training for all hiring panels. We strive for diversity and cultural safety throughout the hiring process (hiring panels, short-list of candidates, interviews). The University acknowledges the potential impact that Career Interruptions and Personal Circumstances can have on an applicant's record of research achievement. Measures will be taken to ensure that these leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the evaluation process.

We encourage you to self-identity aspects of your identity that position you to bring currently under-represented viewpoints, expertise and forms of excellence to this role.
