The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) Research Fellowship is a one-year fellowship, focusing on pulmonary NTM research, based at the Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) site of the University Health Network. The fellow’s time will be devoted to research activities. There is no time devoted to clinical efforts, but some time may be allowed for participation in clinical activities related to NTM, depending upon the fellow’s interest, prior training, and licensing, and at the discretion of the fellowship director. The fellowship will allow the trainee to develop research skills and experience in this area to foster future academic activity and productivity. There is currently no funding for this fellowship; fellows must obtain funding for the fellowship. Assistance may be available in application to funding sources. This fellowship is offered to individuals who will have completed residency training (or equivalent) in Respirology, Infectious Diseases, or Internal Medicine by the fellowship start date, or to individuals enrolled in or recently completed a degree program such as public health, clinical epidemiology, or its equivalent. Prior research training and experience is an asset. Trainees will participate in the following activities:
Completion of at least one primary research project and contribution toward and/or completion of other research projects relating to NTM disease
Present the results of the research at a local meeting, and preferably also at a national or international meeting.
It is expected that at least one peer-reviewed publication will result from this fellowship year.
