Funded fellowship training opportunities are available in thoracic surgery to both Canadian and international surgeons. The program is tailored to the needs of the fellow and varies from 6 months to 2 years in duration. Exposure to all aspects of general thoracic surgery is available depending on the duration of the fellowship. We have a separate lung transplant fellowship (link) but 6 months – 1 year can be incorporated into training depending on training and interests of the applicant.
Applications to the fellowship program can be received at any time but decisions will be made for these limited positions in May for the following year (i.e. 14 months in advance). The interested candidate should send a letter of intent, CV, and 3 reference letters to the fellowship director Dr. Thomas K. Waddell as early as possible.
Basic requirements for all University of Toronto fellowship programs can be found at the University of Toronto Department of Surgery website: http://surgery.utoronto.ca/education/fellowships.htm
