Fellowship Title:	Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation

Description:	Toronto Rehabilitation has a long track record in providing outpatient, interdisciplinary team-based rehabilitation to persons with Multiple Sclerosis suffering from mild to moderate levels of impairment. In conjunction with this, there exists a large, and still growing, neuro-physiatric practice catering to the bio-psycho-social needs of MS patients at all levels of disability. Equipped with a dual clinical and research nurse practitioner and MS neuro-physiatrist, this setting is ideal for anyone interested in increasing his or her knowledge of the holistic management of MS patients to minimize disability progression, optimize functional independence and decrease symptom burden. Motivated, caring and dependable specialist physicians would be most welcome to become part of a team dedicated to the well-being of MS patients. No doubt, participation in this setting will enhance one's knowledge of MS specific impairments (such as neurogenic fatigue, MS-related sleep disorders, etc), MS spasticity and pain management, MS neurogenic bladder and more. State of the art information on MS disease modifying treatments, disease surveillance, and exercise and wellness topics will be discussed through the course of this fellowship module. This exclusively outpatient-based practice would complement the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to the rehabilitation of other brain and spinal cord based pathologies and may form part of a larger neuro-based rehabilitation fellowship for those candidates interested in broader exposure.

Anticipated Start Date(s):	July of each year
Number of position(s) per year:	1 - 2
Description:	The Toronto Adult Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Centre is the largest adult CF Clinic in North America and is located at St Michael's Hospital. Care is provided to ~ 480 adults in 3 ambulatory clinics per week and a 15-bed inpatient Respirology unit with over 200 CF admissions per year. Training at the Adult CF Centre will provide extensive experience in the management of CF and its complications (including management of complex, multi-drug resistant infections, massive hemoptysis, pneumothorax, CF-related diabetes, biliary cirrhosis, malnutrition, DIOS, end stage lung disease, patients with multiple drug allergies and management of pregnancy in CF). Fellows will participate in formal Transition clinics held at SickKids, have an opportunity to participate in satellite CF clinics in northern Ontario, and attend Telehealth clinics to see patients living in remote areas. The majority of CF patients listed for lung transplantation in Toronto are cared for at St Michael's Hospital and this provides experience in the transplant referral process, how to care for severely ill patients and in end of life care. The CF Clinics in Toronto are unique in having a comprehensive patient database. This database can be used for quality improvement and research projects. There are currently no fellowship positions funded by the Toronto Adult CF program. Cystic Fibrosis Canada offers a one year Clinical Fellowship for physicians who are eligible to work in Canada after their training with the express purpose of preparing future CF clinicians. Please see the Cystic Fibrosis Canada website for details.

Advanced Pulmonary Procedures

Fellowship Title:	Advanced Pulmonary Procedures
Division:	Respirology
Fellowship Type:	Clinical
Supervisor:	Harvey Wong
Duration:	1 year
Application Open and Close Date:	open
Anticipated Start Date(s):	open
Number of position(s) per year:	1
Description:	Fellowship Description The goal of the Advanced Pulmonary Procedure fellowship at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is to provide a trainee with additional training, education, and academic opportunities to master skills in the diagnosis and management of thoracic malignancies as well as pleural diseases. This fellowship will only be offered to those who have successfully completed at least 2 years of training in adult respiratory medicine (respirology/ pulmonology) in a North American centre. This is predominantly a clinical fellowship which will allow a trainee to acquire a variety of advanced pulmonary procedural skills. The main focus of the fellowship is to provide training in advanced bronchoscopy techniques such as linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for mediastinal staging and sampling of mediastinal lesions, as well as radial probe EBUS and fluoroscopy for sampling of peripheral lung lesions. Trainees will also become competent in performing comprehensive thoracic ultrasound assessments and obtain skills in ultrasound guided procedures such as percutaneous transthoracic biopsy of lung and pleural lesions. Other pleural procedural skills that will be acquired include pleurodesis, chest drain insertion, tunneled catheter placements and removal, and management of any associated complications that might arise from these catheters. Medical pleuroscopy, airway stent placements, and techniques for management of central airway obstruction using ablative modalities are currently not a focus in this clinical fellowship. Fellows are offered the opportunity to do up to a total of 2 months of clinical electives in another institution with an interventional pulmonology program to gain further exposure and training in these procedures. There will also be protected time for additional academic pursuits. Fellows are encouraged to attend all formal rounds offered by the division of respirology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. Attendance at weekly Thoracic Multidisciplinary Cancer Conference rounds will be mandatory. Fellows will also be expected to teach pulmonary procedures to residents rotating through the Sunnybrook respirology block and Toronto respirology residents during their academic half-day procedure sessions. Fellows will also prepare and deliver a quarterly 1-hour teaching session on a topic related to advanced pulmonary procedures. We also encourage fellows to participate in teaching pulmonary related sessions for undergraduate medical students. Finally, there is an expectation that fellows complete at least one research project related to advanced pulmonary procedures during their fellowship. Funding Funding is currently not guaranteed. Prospective fellows may need to apply for funding through a competitive process for salary support. Application Individuals interested in applying for this fellowship are highly encouraged to arrange an elective prior to their application. The application entails submitting a CV, three letters of reference, and an interview.
