Vector Medical

What Vector Medical does

Vector Medical Corporation is a Canadian occupational medicine consulting firm headquartered in Thornhill, Ontario, founded in 2013 by Aaron North (President & CEO), Dr. Mick Markus (Chief Medical Officer), and Dr. Ilan Nachim (National Director). The company delivers independent medical evaluation and consulting services in three core practice areas: Addictions & Mental Health (Independent Psychiatric Evaluations and Independent Addiction Medicine Evaluations), Occupational Medicine (Medical Director Services, workplace medical surveillance, fitness-for-duty programs, and musculoskeletal disorder assessments), and Medical Marijuana Services (protocol development and independent medical marijuana evaluations). Its primary customer base comprises employers in safety-sensitive and safety-critical environments, unions and labour associations, employment law firms, disability management agencies, and STD/LTD insurance providers operating across Canada.

The firm's core technology is a HIPAA/PHIPA-compliant telemedicine video platform that enables remote psychiatric and addiction medicine assessments in locations that lack access to major-city specialists, supplemented by a national network of approximately 80 specialist physicians (organized into Occupational Medicine, Addiction Medicine, and Occupational Psychiatry teams) for in-person engagements. Clinical output is governed by proprietary quality-assurance processes, notably a three-tiered report review (Master-level Social Workers/Psychologists, National Director of Psychiatry, then Chief Medical Officer) for IPEs, and a four-stage addiction evaluation workflow covering initial evaluation, treatment referral, completion confirmation, and follow-up fitness-for-duty determination. Vector Medical also offers dedicated Medical Director Services that embed specialists into client organizations to adjudicate disability claims, support WSIB/WCB matters, and facilitate doctor-to-doctor consultations.

Vector Medical operates as a private, profitable B2B professional services firm without institutional equity or parent company involvement. Revenue streams are project-based fees or retainer arrangements for Medical Director Services, plus fee-for-service per-assessment billing for IPEs, Addiction Medicine Evaluations, and Medical Marijuana Evaluations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements are quoted per scope; go-to-market is enterprise field sales with brand presence on LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and the corporate website. Geographic scope is national across all Canadian provinces and territories, delivered through a combination of on-site physician deployment and telemedicine.
