Duties On Shift Include
- Assuming primary responsibility for attending and leading pediatric Code Blue events throughout Health Sciences Centre

The physician will be considered an independent contractor and thus responsible for all professional and medical liability, income tax liability, and any other liability or business expenses arising from professional work associated with this role. Benefits such as life and disability insurance, dental coverage, supplementary health coverage, CME allowance, vacation pay, and pension are not provided for contractor positions.
