NEUROLOGY

The University of Manitoba’s Department of Internal Medicine - Section of Neurology at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre is recruiting faculty with expertise in multiple sclerosis

CLINICAL
The MS Clinic at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre is a provincial resource for a catchment population of nearly 1.5 million. The clinic currently includes four subspecialty trained MS neurologists caring for nearly three thousand persons with demyelinating diseases. Allied health support includes two nurse practitioners, OT, PT, dietician and social worker. There is a clinical EMR which feeds into a research database. The clinic is housed in a new ambulatory care facility which opened in April 2022. Clinical income is derived from fee for service billing, augmented by a substantial per diem supplement.

RESEARCH
Three of our MS neurologists have fifty percent or more protected research time and the group has a strong, international reputation in epidemiological research having acquired tens of millions of dollars in competing national and international research grants over the last fifteen years.

RECRUITMENT
We wish to recruit one additional individual with fifty percent research protected time and another full time MS clinician. Both positions require a fellowship in MS and the researcher will require further additional research training and experience and demonstrate a publication track record. Start dates are negotiable based on successful candidates’ availability. Academic rank is commensurate with experience and academic record.

Applicants must:
 Have specialty qualifications in Neurology in the country of current practice (certification by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada is preferred)
