Fellowship details
Through CancerCare Manitoba, the department has resources to provide excellent training in all aspects of medical oncology. As part of your fellowship, you'll work in a clinical setting providing care to patients, and research oncology, contributing to our ongoing understanding.
Flexible training options
Spend approximately 40 per cent of your time on research and program development with the remaining 60 per cent dedicated to clinical experience in areas of mutual interest.
Typically, the successful candidates focus within one or two disease site groups. Opportunities for collaborative research projects in clinical outcomes, translational research and cancer epidemiology will be available and tailored to the candidate's interests.
Academic and clinical activities
Participate in academic and clinical activities within the department, including working in out-patient clinics in your subspecialty area of interest and in the provision of on-call services for medical oncology.
Excellence in care
As part of the one-year fellowship, you’re encouraged to undertake a master’s degree in basic or clinical research, or epidemiology. At the end of the program successful candidates will receive a diploma from the University of Manitoba certifying completion.
