The University of Calgary, Alberta Children’s Hospital and Foothills Medical Centre offer a 1 year fellowship in Sleep Medicine. Eligible trainees will receive the Area of Focused Competency (AFC) in Sleep Disorder Medicine offered by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) at the completion of training.
The primary objective is to provide comprehensive training that will facilitate an academic career in Sleep Medicine. Fellows will be exposed to a variety of scholarly engagements relevant for completion of the AFC such as research and quality improvement activities.
Fellows who choose to pursue additional training in academic Sleep Medicine such as research, quality improvement or medical education may complete up to 2 additional academic years. Funding for subsequent years of research training will be guaranteed for fellows accepted into this stream.
Funding for the fellowship will come predominantly from participation in clinical activities in the fellow’s core specialty. The University of Calgary requires advanced clinical fellows have a minimum funding equivalent to a first-year resident salary. Non- respirology trainees will need to have support from their core specialty for clinical work. International trainees will need to have sponsorship or other source of funding to be considered.
Applicants are required to have completed training in Respiratory Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, Otolaryngology or General Internal Medicine, obtained certification from the RCPSC and be eligible for medical licensure in Alberta (requires completion of the Canadian LMCC exams).
Applications will be accepted up to October 1st, for program entry the following July 1.
Applications should include your curriculum vitae, 2 letters of reference and a letter of intent explaining your interest in Sleep Medicine and your career plans.
