Board-Certified or Residency-Trained Criticalist

About the Role

This is your chance to shape the future of critical care in Atlantic Canada. You'd be joining an established criticalist who's already laying the groundwork for a cutting-edge critical care service at a brand-new, 17,000 sq ft specialty and emergency hospital in Halifax. This isn't a typical associate role — you're being invited to actively influence and grow a department that will meaningfully impact the region.

The hospital is purposefully designed for top-tier critical care: state-of-the-art operating theatres, CT and MRI imaging, and a dedicated ICU equipped with Snyder kennels and high-flow oxygen systems. You'll work alongside internists, radiologists, a dermatologist, anesthesiologist, ophthalmologist, and surgeon, with new dentistry and cardiology services launching in 2026. The team has also partnered with the Canadian Animal Blood Bank and developed a teaching relationship with Atlantic Veterinary College. Your day-to-day will be supported by ICU-focused RVTs who genuinely embrace collaboration and continuous learning.

The role includes a fair rotation of weekend coverage, backed by a strong ER team and hospital-wide commitment to continuity of care. Beyond the work itself, Halifax offers an exceptional lifestyle — oceanfront living with a welcoming culture, outstanding food and live music scenes, easy access to beaches, trails, and outdoor recreation. Home ownership remains realistic here, something increasingly rare in Canadian cities.
