The University Health Network (UHN) and University of Toronto offer a world-class experience for graduating fellows seeking to develop, or continue developing, an academic career in transplant infectious diseases (TID).
The program is based on the curriculum suggested by the AST Infectious Diseases Community of Practice and is further enhanced under the leadership and guidance of internationally recognized TID experts: Drs. Shahid Husain, Coleman Rotstein, Atul Humar, Deepali Kumar, Sasan Hosseini, and Asma Syed. Currently, we offer two training tracks for fellows entering our program: a one-year clinical track for fellows interested in a career as a clinician-educator and a two-year track for fellows interested in an academic research career.
For inpatient consultation, fellows rotate through two sites, one that specializes in solid organ transplant (SOT) and the other in allo- and auto-stem cell transplant/leukemia/solid tumour. For a comprehensive outpatient experience, fellows have a once-weekly outpatient clinic throughout the fellowship. Fellows can also choose to do electives in primary SOT rotations, which enriches the transplant experience. In addition, we provide a well-structured weekly, interactive lecture series where invited speakers, core faculty, and fellows review the core and advanced topics in TID.
Fellows interested in the research track are encouraged to participate actively in the research endeavors of our faculty and begin their own projects. We pay special attention to developing, clinical, translational and laboratory research skills through well-funded clinical and lab-based research programs in TID.
Interested applicants are advised to submit their updated CV, statement of interest and three letters of recommendation.
