The Pediatric Respirology Research Fellowship Program is offered to further develop skills听and expertise in research related to Pediatric Respirology. This fellowship is听designed to supplement the training acquired during the core Pediatric Respirology听training and further prepare the candidate for a career in academic Pediatric听Respirology.

Currently, the focus of Pediatric Respirology training programs in Canada is to听produce competent clinicians to deliver excellent specialized care to children with听respiratory disorders. However, the majority of Pediatric Respirologists in Canada听practice at university鈥恇ased hospitals with academic appointments and are听expected to contribute to academic advancements within the field. Therefore the听focus of this fellowship is to provide a year long opportunity to focus on a research听project to further develop skills in research design, implementation as well as听specific technical/clinical skills that can be subsequently adapted to the trainees' future academic career. The research component of the fellowship will be up to听75%.

It is recognized that after completion of the Pediatric Respirology Subspecialty Residency听training, the听trainee would benefit from maintaining clinical contact to maintain and further听expand their skills and knowledge acquired during their Pediatric Respirology Subspecialty Residency training. As such opportunity for ongoing clinical contact will be provided.
