The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University has an exciting opportunity for two (2) full-time generalist Obstetrician/Gynecologists at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital (WLMH).
The successful candidates will join the staff at WLMH in providing care for low-risk pregnancies, gynecological care, and high-volume gynecological surgery. The Obstetrician/Gynecologists also provide consultant support for a large group of family physicians and midwives who provide primary care to the community.
