Description:
The Tuberculosis Clinical Research Fellowship is a one-year clinical and research fellowship, focusing primarily on tuberculosis at West Park Healthcare Centre. The experience includes a commitment of approximately 60% to research and 40% to clinical efforts. The research component will allow the trainee to develop research skills and experience in this area to foster future academic activity and productivity. The clinical goal of the fellowship is to provide the trainee with the knowledge and skills necessary to become an expert clinician in mycobacterial disease with a focus on TB, combined with a smaller, but substantial experience in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The fellowship is currently offered to up to two individuals per year who will have completed residency training (or equivalent) in Respirology or Infectious Diseases by the fellowship start date. The trainee’s clinical time will be spent primary at West Park, in TB clinic (2 half days per week) and on the Tuberculosis inpatient ward. There will also be opportunity for the trainee to attend NTM clinics at Toronto Western Hospital (up to 1 day per week).
