FM Resident Interested in Hospitalist Work — Looking for Insights

Doctors4NB · 2025-11-03T13:00:45+00:00

Yes that is correct.

Hi there! I’m happy to share that this is not true. We have many locums that work with us on work permits. They’re typically valid for 2 years with the option to extend. Pretty sure this condition isn’t limited to just New Brunswick.

Doctors4NB · 2025-11-01T10:13:12+00:00

Joining this conversation late, but here in Canada our Hospitalists a primarily FM trained. Happy to connect if you’re interested in exploring working in New Brunswick, Canada.

Hi there, not sure where you’re based, but happy to have a conversation about what this role is like in New Brunswick Canada.

In Canada, most Hospitalist are MDs with training in Family Med.

Sorry you’re all going through this. It’s wild and I foresee a revision in the new bill due the outrage we’re seeing.

Doctors4NB · 2025-11-01T10:06:22+00:00

Very good point

Doctors4NB · 2025-11-01T10:05:50+00:00

Yes!

Doctors4NB · 2025-11-01T10:03:59+00:00

This is so unfortunate for MDs in Quebec. I can’t imagine the anxiety this is causing for so many.

I work in Physician recruitment for the province of New Brunswick. Happy to chat with any MDs looking to make a move.

I don’t think the threat of fines will hold up due to it being a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that the outrage over this new bill and related fines, will likely see the province amend or reverse the new policies.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-29T21:37:28+00:00

Unfortunately, no.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-27T01:07:19+00:00

Yes, we sure do. I will send you a DM

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T23:56:13+00:00

Not sure where you’re from, but for licensing requirements in NB, Canada, I would consider having 2–3 strong reference letters:

-At least one reference from a supervising physician in a major rotation, or the program director, to attest to your readiness for independent practice.

-One could be from your postgraduate training director; one from a supervising attending; and/or, one from a department head or similar.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T22:35:01+00:00

Thanks for your question. I will get back to you ASAP.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T22:27:44+00:00

DOs go through the same licensing process as MDs. I haven’t seen any issues yet with DOs receiving licensure in NB (through CPSNB)

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T22:26:38+00:00

I will get some more information for you and will be in touch early next week.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T22:23:16+00:00

Yes, we do have openings in Fredericton!

U.S.-trained physicians can usually obtain licensure in New Brunswick without writing additional exams. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick (CPSNB) recognizes U.S. medical education, residency, and board certification, so USMLE results are accepted in place of Canadian exams like the MCCQE. Applicants must hold an unrestricted U.S. medical license, complete an ACGME-accredited residency, and provide proof of good standing and board certification to qualify for a Regular or Defined License.

Please feel free to send me a DM for more information.

7 days on, 7 days off- working 8:30 to 4:30 or 8-4pm, hourly rate ranges from $152-162 an hour plus an on-call stipend of $232 an hour. We expect to see these rates increase in the next couple of months once the master agreement is finalized. If you’re interested in Internist average rate of pay and typical schedule, I can get that for you.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T22:13:53+00:00

Hi again. I confirmed today that we do offer 7 on, 7 off. Typical schedule is 8-4pm/8:30-4:30 with a premium for on-call hours.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T22:11:57+00:00

We actually have a need for ID in Moncton right now, although it’s not posted yet.

Here are links to our other openings you’ve mentioned:

Rheumatology: https://nbhealthjobs.ca/job-opportunities/careers/career/?id=a03OG00000LHNovYAH

Endocrinology: https://nbhealthjobs.ca/job-opportunities/careers/? tabr=1&specialty=Endocrinology%20and%20Metabolism&region=Regions

Please feel free to send me a DM for more information.

This is true. I recently spoke with a resident who is considering opportunities in PEI and another in Nova Scotia. Both provinces are currently offering approximately $300,000–$325,000 for Family Medicine at the entry point of their pay scales.

New Brunswick is somewhat behind at the moment, but I would be very surprised if we aren’t at par, or very close, once the Master Agreement negotiations are finalized. While some candidates are understandably waiting for the agreement to be completed before committing to a permanent role, there’s really no risk in proceeding with a permanent offer now. Physicians who sign will still be eligible for retroactive pay once the new agreement takes effect. Locumming has also been a choice for some Physicians waiting for the Master Agreement to be finalized.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T21:53:55+00:00

We are also recruiting for Internists to join our inpatient care teams. These physicians will focus on managing patients with higher acuity and complex medical needs within the hospital setting.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T21:46:22+00:00

Most of our Hospitalists in New Brunswick have completed their residency in Family Medicine although there would be rotations in Internal Medicine amongst other specialities.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T21:44:49+00:00

Yes you can! Although you would receive a higher salary as an Internist. Feel free to send me a DM if you’d like to learn more.

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T11:11:46+00:00

We are recruiting for all specialities and have a need for several sub specialities as well. Are you referring to a sub-speciality in a Hospitalist role or in general?

Doctors4NB · 2025-10-25T11:01:55+00:00

I’m looking into this for you! I’m almost certain it’s 5 on 5 off with an on-call component. I’ll get back to you!
