A Career with Balance and Opportunity

At the Timmins and District Hospital (TADH), our people make all the difference. Physicians who choose TADH are choosing more than a role. They’re choosing to provide meaningful care where it is deeply valued and genuinely needed. 

As a technologically advanced health care centre in a vibrant and welcoming Northern Ontario community, TADH offers the opportunity to build a rewarding career while maintaining balance, connection, and quality of life. 

TADH is a 229-bed, fully accredited referral and teaching hospital providing a wide range of services, including emergency, medical, surgical, critical care, obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and geriatric care. Our teams work collaboratively in an environment where physicians are supported, respected, and integrated into both hospital life and the broader community. 

Care Where it’s needed most

Providing care in Northern Ontario means having a direct and visible impact on patients, families, and the region. Physicians at TADH practice at the full scope of their training, supported by strong interdisciplinary teams and a shared commitment to patient-centred care. 

New physicians consistently describe TADH as a place where collaboration is genuine, relationships are strong, and contributions are recognized from day one. 

Move to Timmins

If you’re considering relocating to Timmins, the city’s official relocation website offers comprehensive information on housing, employment, education, and community services. The Timmins Economic Development Corporation also provides personalized support to help individuals and families settle into the community. 

Many physicians are drawn to Timmins for its affordability, accessibility, and sense of belonging. For many, these qualities make it easier to put down roots and feel at home. 

Why Choose Timmins?

Timmins and TADH offer more than just a career. They offer an opportunity to live and work in a community that values connection, balance, and contribution. 

Big enough to offer professional opportunity, yet small enough to feel personal and connected, Timmins is a family-friendly community with excellent schools, recreation, and support services. Physicians enjoy a small-city atmosphere with essential amenities, easy commutes, and exceptional access to the outdoors, including hiking, fishing, skiing, and year-round recreation. The result is a lifestyle that supports both professional fulfillment and personal well-being. 

Academic and Professional Opportunities 

Through our affiliation with the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM), physicians at TADH may apply for academic appointments and participate in teaching and mentoring medical students and family medicine residents completing rotations and electives at the hospital. 

These opportunities allow physicians to contribute to the next generation of care providers while remaining rooted in clinical practice. 

Interested in locum opportunities? 

Not ready to relocate? A locum position is a great way to experience practice at TADH and get to know the community. 

Locum physicians are welcomed as part of the team, even during short stays. Past locums frequently note the warm welcome, seamless integration, and strong teamwork they experience, whether they’re here for a few days a month or longer-term coverage. Locum opportunities are available across a range of specialties, with flexible dates and competitive support. 

Physicians are encouraged to explore available locum positions and upcoming coverage needs as a way to “try it out” and see if TADH is the right fit for them. 

Recruitment Support 

TADH offers relocation assistance and incentives through the Ministry of Health’s Northern and Rural Recruitment and Retention initiative, as well as support for community assessment visits. 

Our recruitment team is committed to supporting physicians at every stage, from initial inquiry to arrival and beyond.
