We are a provincial health authority responsible for delivering quality health care to approximately 550,000 people in Newfoundland and Labrador. Supported by over 23,000 employees and physicians, our team works together to improve the health and well-being of every person, in every community.

At NL Health Services, we believe that our people — employees, doctors and volunteers — make it a great place to work. Every individual brings valuable knowledge, experience and perspective. It is in this diversity that we find strength. We are committed to embracing the distinct and complementary characteristics of our members, as we seek to eliminate health disparities, and ensuring we provide fair, equitable and quality health care to everyone.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

NL Health Services is recruiting 3 exceptional physicians with dual Fellowship training in Nuclear Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology to join the Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine Division at Health Sciences Centre in St. John's, NL.
