The Grade 2 Acute and Complex Care (Special Medicine) Physiotherapist position sits within the Acute and Complex Care team, which provides physiotherapy services to patients in the General Medicine and Special Medicine Programs, as well as the Emergency Department (secondary contact). This position holds a Special Medicine caseload, primarily in the Renal and Gastromedicine Programs; you’ll use your broad clinical skills to care for inpatients with a range of acute illnesses, chronic diseases and complex discharge planning needs.
