Eastern Health invites expressions of interest for a 1-year salaried Family Medicine Physician from February 19, 2021 to February 18, 2022 at Carbonear General Hospital, Carbonear.

The Carbonear General Hospital serves the Rural Avalon region of Eastern Health, a catchment area of greater than 45,000 people, whose geography encompasses a portion of the Avalon Peninsula.
