The Nurse Practitioner is licensed to work in Canada and provides health care advice, education, and support to patients across Canada in jurisdictions that allow for cross province care. As point of contact for patients, you will provide convenient and timely supportive services that range from minor acute care treatments to health coaching for various disease states. You will be responsible for triaging incoming requests from patients, assessing their needs, and providing the appropriate clinical recommendations and coaching to support resolution of symptoms and/or improvement in perceived health.

Patients will be able to contact a registered nurse via a variety of channels including phone, email, text, and video conference. Where necessary, you will be referring patients to healthcare facilities and community-based resources. Working collaboratively with other health care professionals (physicians, pharmacists, and registered nurses) you will provide a meaningful patient experience, while using your critical thinking skills to develop, implement, and evaluate comprehensive care plans.
