What we offer you
The Thrombosis Fellowship Program is well established and has been training fellows for over a decade. Three fellowship streams are offered: a 1-year Clinical Fellowship to consolidate expertise in thrombosis; a 2-3 year combined clinical and research fellowship for those interested in becoming a clinician investigator in thrombosis; and a 2-3 year clinical and education fellowship for those interested in becoming a clinician-educator in thrombosis.
The Ottawa Hospital Thrombosis Program provides an ideal training environment and offers an active thrombosis clinical service, specialized thrombosis faculty and a highly successful research program.
The Thrombosis Fellowship program provides the opportunity to learn from respected world leaders in venous thromboembolism research, diagnosis and management. Faculty members have developed niche areas of expertise including thrombosis and cancer; thrombosis and pregnancy; diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; management of thrombosis; genetic aspects of thrombosis and thrombosis education.
Investigators with the thrombosis program have established successful research collaborations both within Canada and throughout the world.
Additional learning opportunities for Thrombosis Fellows include weekly Thrombosis Rounds, Blood Club and Journal Club. Fellows pursuing the Clinical and Research Fellowship stream also enroll in the Masters of Clinical Epidemiology Program at the University of Ottawa where they receive formal research training. Fellows pursuing the Clinical and Education Fellowship stream enroll in a formal post-graduate training program related to education.
The fellows are expected to do in-patient service and clinics under supervision (25% of the time for research and education fellows; 50% for clinical fellows). The expectation is that at the end of the training the candidate will be able to perform as an expert thrombosis consultant. Fellows also perform calls with the back-up of a staff hematologist (currently one in four to one in six weeknights and one in four to one in six weekends) during the fellowship.
Thrombosis Fellows present a topic once monthly at Thrombosis Rounds.
