Full job description

Overview

As a member of the military, Radiologists belong to the Medical Specialist occupation in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and provide diagnostic and consultative patient care services for CAF members. They work closely with Medical Radiation Technicians and have the opportunity to be a leader within the CAF Health Services and serve as mentor and educator to the full spectrum of military health care providers.

Their primary responsibilities are to:

Ensure accurate, rapid radiological interpretation of multimodality imaging, including computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US) and X-ray;
Help guide surgical and medical treatment at a Canadian Forces Health Services Clinic or while deployed on international, peacekeeping or humanitarian operations;
Maintain a high level of clinical currency, by holding a position within a civilian health care facility;
In specific circumstances, provide interventional skills for minimally invasive therapeutic treatment of injuries on overseas missions; and
Contribute to the development and application of health care policies within the CAF.

Work environment

Radiologists in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) maintain their clinical readiness by being embedded as staff in tertiary care civilian hospitals across Canada, working alongside their civilian colleagues. Part of their time may be spent providing in-house or remote radiological interpretation to support Primary Care Services at Canadian Forces Health Services Clinics in Canada. Participation in education and training tasks, as well as research opportunities, occur nationally and internationally.
They belong to 1 Canadian Field Hospital and maintain their operational readiness by participating in annual military skills training and field exercises. When required, they will be called upon to deploy to unique and challenging environments as part of the Health Services team on domestic and international operations.

If you chose a career in the Regular Force, upon completion of all required training, you will be assigned to your first base. While there is some flexibility with regards to postings (relocations), accommodations can’t always be made, and therefore, you can likely expect to move at some point in your career. However, if you decide to join the Primary Reserve Force, you will do so through a specific Reserve unit. Outside of training, your chosen Reserve unit will be your workplace on a part time basis, and you will not be obligated to relocate to a different base. As part of the Primary Reserve Force, you typically work one night per week and some weekends as a minimum with possibilities of full-time employment.

Training

Basic Military Officer Qualification

At the first available opportunity, you will complete Basic Military Officer Qualification training at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. You will take the Condensed Health Services Basic Military Officer Qualification Training which consists of two weeks of Distance Learning and four weeks of in-house training in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Topics covered include general military knowledge, the principles of leadership, regulations and customs of the Forces, basic weapons handling, and first aid. Opportunities will also be provided to apply such newly acquired military skills in training exercises involving force protection, field training, navigation and leadership. A rigorous physical fitness program is also a vital part of basic training. Basic Military Officer Qualification training is provided in English or French and successful completion is a prerequisite for further training.

Available Professional Training

Incoming Medical Specialists in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) will attend the Rank Qualification Medical Specialist Major (RQ-Med Spec-Maj) course delivered by the Canadian Forces Health Services Training Centre (CFHSTC). Consisting of an online asynchronous distributed learning (approximately 20 hours) and a five-day residential training phase, this course prepares Medical Specialists to provide expert care within the CAF health system and across operational environments. You will gain an understanding of key common CAF and Canadian Forces Health Services (CFHS) policies, CAF-specific and specialty-specific operational medicine, and the unique aspects of military healthcare. Upon completion, you will be equipped to deliver specialist healthcare in support of CAF members while leading multidisciplinary healthcare teams in both civilian and deployed settings.

Available Specialty Training

CAF Radiologists may be eligible to apply for the opportunity to specialize their medical practice and, when applicable, can receive subsidy in exchange for additional years of service. Supported training will normally consist of a sub-specialty fellowship program at a Canadian University, but may include other Post-graduate degrees and/or courses determined to be complimentary to military practice.

Available Advanced Training

As they progress in their career, Radiologists who demonstrate the required qualifications, ability and potential may be offered advanced medical, military and/or leadership training.
