Fellowship details

The University of Manitoba's MIS fellowship program is based at Victoria General Hospital and St. Boniface Hospital, with one fellowship position available each academic year for qualified applicants. Fellows will work with a team of five dedicated MIS surgeons at these two sites, attending weekly ambulatory clinics and participating in a mandatory research component. The fellowship also offers in-depth research opportunities in the areas of surgical education, clinical epidemiology, and simulation, allowing fellows to enhance their research skills and complete at least one project suitable for peer-reviewed publication or presentation. It is expected that fellows will achieve certification in the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Skills (FLS) program by the end of the fellowship year.
