Trillium Health Partners’ Women’s and Children’s Health Program is seeking Locum Tenens Paediatricians to join the Division of Children’s Health. Join us in shaping the future of healthcare by being an integral part of Ontario’s first Women’s and Children’s Hospital, which will have an impact on generational health in one of the nation’s most multicultural regions.

THP Women’s & Children’s Program: Trillium Health Partners (THP) serves over one million residents in Mississauga, Peel Region, and West Toronto. By summer 2025, Women’s and Children’s health services will consolidate at Credit Valley Hospital (CVH), supporting 8,500 annual births and a 38-bed Level 2C NICU. This consolidation will support a one patient and provider experience within a comprehensive system of care in advance of the new hospital opening.

At THP, we are building Ontario’s first Women’s and Children’s Hospital—the Shah Family Hospital for Women and Children. This 200,000-square-foot facility will span two floors within the new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital and will be purpose-built for families to provide a range of specialized services and integrated care. Key features will include 31 birthing suites, 53 postpartum beds, 56 NICU beds, and 36 pediatric beds. Every aspect of care will be designed to prioritize the patient and family experience while ensuring the highest quality of care. The new hospital will also focus on teaching, research, and innovation to promote the well-being of women, children, and equity-deserving groups. THP fosters innovation, partnerships, and research through the Institute for Better Health (IBH) and is the primary teaching hospital for the University of Toronto’s Mississauga Academy of Medicine.

There is also an opportunity for a part-time faculty appointment at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. You will have access to mentorship and opportunities to participate in quality, safety, and practice committees, contributing to ongoing program development and excellence in patient care. Enjoy a dynamic and collaborative environment that fosters professional growth while making a meaningful impact on paediatric care in the community.
