Job Description
The intent of the fellowship would be to provide fundamental clinical training to the breast oncology fellow but also pair the clinical training with opportunities in clinical and translational research - fields which we have additional expertise available through the program. The fellowship program has successfully offered this fellowship to trainees since 2011 and they have all gone on to contribute in a significant way to breast oncology throughout Canada. This position will involve both clinical and research activities. The Clinical Research Fellow will gain broad experience of cancer management, particularly breast cancer, including experience with both outpatients and inpatients. During their training, the Clinical Research Fellow will participate in full-day breast medical oncology clinics and provide support for these patients on non-clinic days to prepare for a transition to independent practice. The Clinical Research Fellow will also participate in breast multidisciplinary sessions and is expected to conduct research in drug clinical trials, translational studies, or other clinical research including, but not limited to, health services research and meta-analyses. The Clinical Research Fellow will be expected to have an abstract presented at an international meeting and a publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
