Physician Assistant - Internal Medicine

Physician Assistants (PA) are academically prepared and are highly skilled health care professionals who provide a broad range of medical services. As important members of the collaborative care team, Alberta Health Services (AHS) provides alternative job opportunities for PAs to act as health care extenders, working under the supervision and direction of a physician to complement existing services and aid in improving patient care.

Physician Assistants are fully regulated health professionals in Alberta and must be registered with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA). In this position the PA will deliver acute care to patients at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary within a multidisciplinary team in General Internal Medicine. The Department of Medicine’s Division of General Internal Medicine provides comprehensive clinical care for patients with complex medical conditions in a variety of settings.

We are clinicians, researchers, educators, and administrators focused on improving health and care delivery along the many spectrums of adult chronic disease.

You will be working alongside physicians, nurses, pharmacists and dieticians. Job duties often include taking and documenting the history and physical examination and carrying out a treatment plan under the direction of the attending/supervising physician. Duties will also include interfacing with nursing and allied health providers, providing education to patients and families, participating in safe transitions for patients being admitted and discharged, preparing patients for procedures, and care coordination.

Appropriate supervision and support are provided, and a formal orientation and assessment period will be implemented. Only those demonstrating the strongest qualifications will be contacted for an interview.
