The Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology Fellowship Program is based at two major sites: The Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. It is a two year program. Trainees will acquire in depth knowledge of human pharmacology, therapeutics, and toxicology tailored to different age groups (pediatric and adult), and diverse populations, addressing aspects of gender, ethnicity, and ethics.
Over the course of training, fellows must demonstrate competence in the foundations of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, pharmacoeconomics and pharmacoepidemiology.
Fellows will also acquire knowledge in drug development and regulation, clinical aspects such as adverse drug reactions and interactions and therapeutic drug monitoring with an objective of improving the levels of health within communities, unique population groups, and individuals. They will also conduct research, utilizing statistical analytic methodology, and critically appraise publications.
The program requires the trainee and the supervisor to identify individual future career goals and settings according to the Competence by Design framework.
The program integrates the CanMEDS Roles in the training and encourages trainees to undertake advanced level training in related areas.
Fellow position availability is dependent upon the funding situations of the supervising faculty members.
