The GoodHope Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Clinic is the only multidisciplinary clinic in Canada that is available for the diagnosis and management of patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (G-HSD).

Our clinic successfully integrated a Physician Assistant (PA) in the last few years, which has helped reduce wait times and improve access to diagnostic assessments and care.

Our enthusiastic and welcoming team is looking to onboard another PA as we expand the clinic. The clinic functions as an outpatient service, with patient visits scheduled on weekdays between 9 AM - 5 PM. There are NO weekend, evening or call shifts required as part of this service. There is dedicated administrative time provided for charting and clinic preparation.

The successful candidate will join a team that includes an experienced PA that would help with training and onboarding to ensure a smooth transition. There are opportunities for continuing education that would help towards satisfying the annual maintenance of certification requirements which includes education rounds, conferences and team retreats.

There are also opportunities for participation in research studies and career growth as the clinic expands. We hope to utilize the strong skillset of a PA to reduce wait times and become a successful team member.
