حول Nova Scotia Healthcare System
The Nova Scotia Health (NSH) Department of Radiation Oncology is accepting applications for a 1.0 FTE Locum Radiation Oncologist position, starting Spring 2025 for up to 6 months, with possibility of renewal.
With centres in both Halifax and Sydney, the NSH Department of Radiation Oncology serves patients in the entire province of Nova Scotia (NS), with over 3,000 radiation treatment courses delivered each year. Each radical treatment is peer reviewed in a collaborative and collegial way using centralized departmental guidelines.
The modern equipment inventory includes eight treatment units delivering VMAT, IGRT, SRS, and SBRT. There is an active HDR brachytherapy program for prostate and gynecological cancers. Nova Scotians received care on the first-in-the-world Ethos radiotherapy system with HyperSight imaging in January 2024 and the centre is actively replacing older radiotherapy units with additional state of the art technology.
