Your Opportunity:
Be a part of a meaningful and innovative initiative aimed at providing high quality geriatric care in the tertiary emergency department at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) in Edmonton, Alberta. The Geriatric Emergency Management Nurse Practitioner (GEM NP) will provide specialized care to emergency patients with geriatric syndromes and frailty with moderate acuity and high complexity needs. As part of a physician-led team, the NP will conduct geriatric assessments, provide interventions, and develop care plans.
