Northstar Medical is hiring Saskatchewan-licensed Nurse Practitioners for a virtual primary care program serving patients who do not have a regular family doctor or nurse practitioner.

- Provide virtual primary care by secure video, telephone, and messaging
- Assess and treat common acute and stable chronic primary-care concerns
- Prescribe medications and renewals
- Order labs and diagnostic imaging
- Make specialist referrals and follow up on results and referrals
- Escalate to in-person, urgent, or emergency care when virtual care is not enough
- Complete timely clinical documentation and visit summaries
- Follow privacy, safety, and clinical protocols (including crisis response)

- Core coverage is typically weekdays, about 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saskatchewan time
- Evening/weekend shifts may be available later if the program expands hours
- Flexible contractor scheduling within program capacity needs

- Comfort delivering care virtually and documenting in an electronic clinical platform
- Reliable high-speed internet and a private workspace suitable for telehealth
- Located in Canada
Nice to have
