The Division of Hematology (Ottawa Blood Disease Centre) at The Ottawa Hospital is experiencing significant clinical and academic growth.  We are seeking a hematologist specializing in Benign Hematology to join in our expansion and to lead in clinical care, education and research as a full-time academic faculty member.  The Ottawa Blood Disease Centre is a large group of 41 faculty that work within a group practice plan model within the University of Ottawa and The Ottawa Hospital academic centre. The Division has three well-defined and successful clinical and research programs: Malignant Hematology, Thrombosis and Benign Hematology.

The benign hematology group with 10 faculty members includes dedicated programs in Apheresis, Hemostasis, Hemoglobinopathy, Transfusion Medicine, and General Hematology. The Ottawa Hospital is the regional referral centre and operates large and supported clinics in Hemostasis/ Bleeding disorders and Sickle cell/ Hemoglobinopathy where physicians participate in a shared clinic structure supported by allied health and dedicated clerical support. Our Apheresis Program oversees inpatient and outpatient apheresis services for hematological and non-hematological indications and has similar support staff and a dedicated treatment unit. The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Centre for Transfusion Research conducts national and international clinical research in transfusion, transplantation and resuscitation medicine through a multidisciplinary network.  Training opportunities may be available for early career hematologists or those considering expanding their scope of practice in these areas.

We are currently seeking applicants with a clinical focus in benign (general) hematology and offer a tailored clinical and research profile to align with the academic interest of the successful candidate. The position is a full-time academic appointment within the Department of Medicine and The Ottawa Hospital and opportunity for cross appointment with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute if desired. The successful candidate will be supported and mentored to pursue a mutually agreed area of clinical research or quality improvement that fits their interests.

Academically, the division of hematology supports undergraduate and postgraduate training, including subspecialty fellowship trainees in all three of our programs. The Division of Hematology and the University of Ottawa Department of Medicine support research through a Clinical Research Office, and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute houses experts in broad areas of clinical epidemiology, statistical support, transfusion medicine research, patient decision-making, and knowledge translation. The Department of Medicine supports clinical academic work through a competitive Academic Incentive Program.
