Orchard Optometry is a busy non-dispensing practice located side-by-side Vogue Optical. We operate two offices in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia - one in New Minas and one in Greenwood. The locum position would be primarily based in New Minas, with typically 1 day per week in Greenwood. Although we would ideally like coverage for the full 7 months, we can be flexible with start/end dates and days per week.

Our ideal candidate will be comfortable managing ocular disease, including glaucoma management. This is a great opportunity to experience the pace of rural practice, while being only an hour from Halifax and an international airport.
