About the Role
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. 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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Support national clinical governance and oversight, ensuring consistency and quality across the service.
Requirements
- 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.
