As a general urologic oncology clinical PA, the PA would support the surgical oncologist in all ambulatory settings. The PA would conduct patient histories, physical examinations, order investigations/medications (as per medical directives), formulate a differential diagnosis, perform procedures including cystoscopy, create/contribute to the treatment plan, and take part in patient follow-ups. A portion of the job will entail working with the multidisciplinary testis cancer clinic at Princess Margaret. This clinic serves as a national resource for this rare cancer that affects younger men and the PA will have the opportunity to see these patients clinically and help them navigate through the complexities of the multidisciplinary care. Overall, the urologic oncology team at Princess Margaret is enthusiastic and supportive of the PA, having had PAs work with us for 10 years, and looks forward to welcoming another PA to join the clinical team.
