Description:	Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, a member of the University Health Network, has a long track record of providing specialized outpatient, interdisciplinary team-based rehabilitation to persons living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with mild to moderate levels of impairment. Embedded alongside this program, there exists a large neurophysiatric practice catering to the bio-psycho-social needs of MS patients at all levels of disability. Furthermore, strong collaborations exist with Unity Health--St. Michael’s Hospital’s BarLo MS Centre, a world- leading, neurology-led, MS clinic that also has a neurophysiatric presence. This dual setting, is ideal for the physiatrist or neurologist post-graduate learner interested in increasing their knowledge of the holistic management of persons living with MS 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 persons living with MS. Participation will enhance one’s knowledge of MS specific impairments (including but not limited neurogenic fatigue, spasticity, MS-related sleep disorders, MS-related psychiatric presentations, neurogenic bladder, bone health, etc.) and physiatric principles, as a whole. State of the art information on MS disease modifying treatments, disease surveillance, exercise, and other wellness topics to address physical, cognitive, and psycho-emotional wellbeing will be discussed throughout the course of the fellowship. Opportunities to collaborate on research will be available to all clinical fellows expressing an interest. 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.

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 ~ 600 adults between the ages of 18 and 80 years. The centre consists of an outpatient clinic and 16-bed inpatient ward. There are 4 full time and 3 part time CF Pulmonologists with a large multidisciplinary team (consisting of nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, research coordinators, genetic counsellor). The Fellowship consists of experience with the diagnosis of CF, inpatient and ambulatory management of CF, transition from pediatric care, referral to lung transplantation and opportunities to work with other subspecialists involved with adult CF care (Psychiatry, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Allergy, Obstetrics). Training at the Adult CF Centre provides extensive experience in the medical management of CF and its complications (including management of multi-drug resistant infections, massive hemoptysis, pneumothorax, CF-related diabetes, CF liver disease, malnutrition, DIOS, end stage lung disease, multiple drug allergies and pregnancy in CF). Approximately 7 of the 12 months of Fellowship is spent in the ambulatory clinics. Fellows attend the CF clinics on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. In addition, Fellows see patients referred for query CF at the weekly Bronchiectasis clinic and patients with GI issues at the monthly CF GI clinic. Fellows also participate in Telehealth clinics to see patients living in remote areas. The Fellowship also consists of a total of 4-5 months working on the inpatient ward. In the era of highly effective CFTR modulator therapy, there are typically 4-8 patients admitted to the CF inpatient service at a time with both pulmonary and gastrointestinal complications. 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 Clinic in Toronto submits clinic data to the comprehensive Canadian patient database. This database may used for quality improvement and research projects during the Fellowship and there are opportunities for involvement in clinical research during the fellowship with some protected academic time (~4-6 weeks) available. There are currently no fellowship positions that are 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.

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. Trainees will also gain valuable experience in the management of central airway obstruction using various ablative modalities. Medical pleuroscopy and airway stent placementsare 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. 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 personal letter, CV, three letters of reference, and an interview.
