Pediatric Palliative Medicine Fellowship
Overview
The University of Alberta offers flexible enhanced training in Pediatric Palliative Medicine for 6 months or 1 year duration, primarily based at the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton. The Stollery is the second largest children's hospital in Canada. We are a quatenary care referral centre, managing the gamut of pediatric illnesses, including complex and multi-visceral transplants for Western Canada.
Training Experience
Our training program is NOT accredited, and therefore, participants would not be eligible to write the Royal College Examination in Palliative Medicine, nor would the program confer eligibility for participants to qualify for Royal College certification in Pediatric Palliative Medicine. Our program is meant to provide supplementary knowledge and skills in Pediatric Palliative Medicine to enhance one's practice where one would encounter children with life-limiting illnesses (e.g., PICU, NICU, general pediatrics, etc.). Specific rotations, including any electives at other insitutions, are flexible to the learner's specific practice needs and goals.
Additional Information
Interested candidates would need to either be Royal College certified, be eligible for Royal College certification, or otherwise have their own external funding.
