Benefits of working at a smaller site such as Westview include the following:
• A close knit team dynamic with strong collegial work environment between physicians, nurses, and other allied health team members.
• Faster time to disposition with quick lab and x-ray turnaround, as well as staff to staff consultation through RAAPID with immediate advice regarding transfer of care, follow-up, or management.
• On average, less complexity, allowing physicians to spend more time with sicker patients when required.
• More opportunities to do procedures performed by consultant services in the tertiary centres (peri-tonsillar abscess I & D, priapism decompression, chest tubes) along with the time to do them.
• Opportunity to sharpen your clinical skills as radiology isn't as readily available
• Strong focus on work - life balance.
