Description:

We are currently offering a clinical research fellowship in the treatment of multiple myeloma and associated mature B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PM).

The Princess Margaret Myeloma Group (including six dedicated myeloma/lymphoma physicians) sees approximately 300 new patients and performs autotransplants in over 200 patients per year. Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is the largest myeloma centre in Canada and receives patient referrals from across the country and internationally. The group is actively involved in clinical and laboratory research with international collaborations.

Fellows will have the opportunity to gain clinical experience in the care of patients with myeloma and related disorders, including application of the principles of intensive therapy and stem cell transplantation as well as the use of novel agents in drug development. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in clinical investigation (writing/directing study protocols, participation with the NCIC, applying for grant support, etc). Depending upon candidate interest, opportunities in laboratory research and/or patient/faculty education and supportive care in mature B cell disorders are available.

Candidates must be eligible for registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and hold subspecialty certification in Hematology or Medical Oncology from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
