Terra Nova Medical Centre

Signing bonus of $12,000 for the year or $6000 for six months. I’m currently seven months pregnant and hope to do telehealth only starting mid October. I would still be doing telehealth so the maternity locum wouldn’t have to worry about taking the entire patient load. I’m just not going to be able to come in (certainly not as much). I need someone to help me with my in-person visits.

The schedule can be very flexible. I’m open to any kind of negotiation if they’re interested. Also let anybody else you know who might be interested in the opportunity.

At Terra Nova Medical Clinic, we are living our mission to empower all people to live
their healthiest lives by transforming the healthcare experience. Levering digital
technology, we provide whole-person care that spans every stage in a person’s health
journey from wellness and prevention to acute care to complex healthcare needs. Our
team has exponentially grown in size over the last 7 years since its inception, and our
growth is expected to rapidly continue as we transcend the landscape of future
healthcare. With our emphasis on medical quality, we place tremendous focus and

to deliver the best outcome for every patient.
