Description:
The Department of Medicine, Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto and the Divisions of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics of the University Health Network (UHN) and Sinai Health (SH) are seeking to recruit an academic general internist to be based at UHN. The successful candidate should have an interest in both inpatient and outpatient general internal medicine. They will also be expected to participate in educational activities at both the undergraduate and graduate medical education level. Candidates must currently hold or be eligible for a University of Toronto full-time clinical academic appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor/Associate Professor and should fulfill the academic position description of a Clinician Educator. Effective start date will be between July 2026, or sooner as mutually agreed upon.
The successful UHN Clinician Educator's position will involve 50% clinical care, 45% education scholarship and 5% administrative service. Clinical care is comprised of 14-18 weeks of clinical service (comprised of 8-10 weeks of CTU, 4-8 weeks of consults and ambulatory clinics) with the remainder of time devoted to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level. Scholarly activities include 15-30 hours per year of formal teaching across multiple learner levels and other scholarship such as education leadership with education related CPA activities with evidence of impact outside local settings. Please note that while this UHN CE will be assigned TGH as a primary site, the successful candidate will attend at their secondary UHN site for, at minimum, 4 weeks of clinical service/year. The mix of clinical and educational responsibilities will depend on the successful candidate’s background and the needs of the Division.
Competitive candidates will possess outstanding communication, teaching, organizational and interpersonal skills that enable them to work collaboratively with other physicians, learners, hospital staff and administrators.
Candidates must have advanced academic training that is relevant to the CE job description (master’s degree, doctoral degree or equivalent, see Table 2 on the Clinical Faculty Academic Appointments page for more details). Candidates must also have a record of excellence in their area of interest. Excellence will be assessed by the presence of scholarly contributions to teaching and education as evidenced by pedagogical innovation, curriculum development, experience in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level, and teaching awards.
Successful candidates must hold MD qualifications, be certified (or be eligible for certification) by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in General Internal Medicine and be licensed (or be eligible for licensure) by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
Academic rank, salary and contractual arrangements will be commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the successful candidates. Compensation will be negotiated and within the usual income range for an academic general internist in the Province of Ontario (estimated range is $250,000-300,000 per year).
Applications will be accepted until December 5th, 2025, or until the positions are filled. Interested individuals should specify which position(s) they are applying for, and send a copy of their letter of interest, curriculum vitae and the names and contact information for three references to:
