Our team and what we’ll accomplish together
Join TELUS Health Care Centres, a cutting-edge network of medical innovation and technology hubs across Canada. As part of our team, you'll contribute to delivering personalized care and enhanced patient experiences in state-of-the-art facilities. Our comprehensive range of services includes physiotherapy, genetics, nutrition counseling, mental health support, and more. This role offers you the unique opportunity to shape the future of healthcare by leveraging advanced technologies and collaborative practices.

As a dermatologist, you will play a pivotal role in the early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers through expert review of high-resolution dermoscopic images. This position does not involve direct patient interaction or operation of imaging equipment. Instead, your core responsibility will be to assess mole mapping images and provide your impressions and recommendations to the treating practitioner.
Here’s how you’ll make a difference:
- Review and interpret full-body mole mapping and dermoscopic images captured using advanced imaging technology.
- Identify suspicious skin lesions and provide dermatologic reports.
- Collaborate, if requested, with primary care providers and other healthcare professionals in a multidisciplinary, patient-centered model.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of image review protocols and optionally engage in education or research related to skin cancer screening.
- Medical Director Coverage
- Position structure: This role is structured as approximately 80–90% direct clinical work in mole mapping, with 10–20% dedicated to providing clinical oversight of the service at a national level.
- Clinical oversight responsibilities: The successful candidate will support national clinical governance and oversight, ensuring consistency and quality across the service.
- Ideal candidate: Suited to a physician looking to combine hands-on mole mapping clinical practice with a broader leadership/oversight role in the service.
- Flexibility: Exact time allocation between clinical and oversight duties may be refined based on candidate experience and service needs.
What you bring:
- Medical degree (MD or equivalent) with certification in Dermatology or Dermoscopy equivalent (PGDip).
- Valid medical license in the province of practice
- Demonstrated proficiency in dermoscopy techniques and interpretation
- Experience or familiarity with mole mapping systems (e.g., FotoFinder, Vectra) is an asset.
- Strong clinical judgment and attention to detail in image-based dermatologic assessment.
- Ability to work independently and contribute effectively within a remote, collaborative medical team.
- Demonstrated interest in digital dermatology and innovative medical technologies
What’s in it for you:
- Fully remote role with TELUS-provided equipment
- Flexibility to review cases on your own schedule, part time, approximately 10 to 15 hours per week
- Opportunity to work with advanced dermatology tools
- Patients referred exclusively by healthcare practitioners with no direct patient care or follow-up required
- Clear clinical boundaries: You are providing expert image-based assessments only; the referring practitioner maintains full responsibility for ongoing patient care
