This is a one-year clinical and research fellowship, focusing primarily on pulmonary NTM at the Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) site of the University Health Network. The experience includes a commitment of approximately 60% to research and 40% to clinical efforts. The research component will allow the trainee to develop research skills and experience in this area to foster future academic activity and productivity. The clinical goal of the fellowship is to provide the trainee with the knowledge and skills necessary to become an expert clinician in mycobacterial disease with a focus on NTM, combined with a smaller, but substantial experience in TB. The fellowship is currently offered to up to one individual per year who will have completed residency training (or equivalent) in Respirology or Infectious Diseases by the fellowship start date.
