Additional Information and Application Deadlines

All potential new hires must attend a corporate pre-screening session, held in Dartmouth, NS. These sessions will consist of a panel interview, a written exam, OSCE (clinical portion), driving test, as well as the completion of your P-PAT. Please note that your invite to the orientation sessions will be based on the results from the pre-screening.

All application requirements must be received by the deadline to be considered for hire.

Upcoming New Employee Orientation (NEO)

Important Notes:

·         Space is limited for each New Pre-screening Session. 

·         PCPs normally begin on a casual/relief basis.

·         ACPs may have increased opportunity for full-time employment but typically begin on a casual basis.

·         Applications received past a deadline will be held for consideration for the next NEO (there are no exceptions).
