Initially founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1892, it is affectionately known as the Urban Angel, St. Michael’s is renowned for providing exceptional patient care, in addition to providing outstanding medical education to health-care professionals in more than 23 academic disciplines. Home to the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, made up of the Keenan Research Centre and the Li Ka Shing International Healthcare Education Centre, the hospital is among the first in the world to bring together researchers, educators and clinicians to take best practices and research discoveries to patient bedsides faster.

The Medical Oncology Fellowship program offered at St. Michael’s Hospital gives oncology fellows the opportunity to work with some of the world’s leading researchers in breast and gastrointestinal cancer. The Oncology/Cancer Care unit consists of a 15 bed comprehensive Inpatient Unit. The Medical Daycare unit is used to provide cancer care to approximately 600 outpatients per month. The Oncology/Cancer Care unit is headed by three medical oncologists: Dr. Christine Brezden-Masley acts as the director of the fellowship program and a clinician investigator; and both Dr. Ronita Lee and Dr. Rashida Haq are clinician teachers.

The St. Michael’s Medical Oncology Fellowship program is offered for either 12 months or 24 months, depending on funding.
