St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Toronto, is seeking psychiatrists with minimum 3 years experience for general adult psychiatry services. We deliver care to a diverse and often marginalized population in a collaborative and dynamic multidisciplinary setting with support from mental health clinicians and case managers. We aim to deliver a time- limited intensive episode of care in the outpatient clinic aimed at reintegrating patients with appropriate community supports. The Department offers an exciting range of psychiatric services including rTMS, ECT, urgent care child & adolescent clinic, adult urgent care, ACTT, group psychotherapy modalities, Day Treatment Program, and inpatient services for children and adolescents, transitional age youth and the general adult population.

Position Description: Full-time (1.0 FTE) general psychiatry services in the adult psychiatry setting. One position is permanent full-time (mixed ambulatory and acute care) while the other is a 10-month locum position (ambulatory care).

Remuneration includes a combination of OHIP billings, on call stipend (HOCC), a generous base stipend and educational funds for contributions to medical education and training. There are currently no overhead expenses. Permanent staff must be eligible for a university appointment as SJHC is an academic affiliate of the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
