There is ample exposure to the full spectrum of chest disease. McMaster University is fortunate to have an internationally recognized group of respirologists who provide the referrals and have an excellent working relationship with Radiology. Surgical procedures include lung reduction. Most fellows choose to spend a month with one of our two dedicated pulmonary pathologists who provide an invaluable learning opportunity with lung cuttings, and review of daily biopsy and surgical specimens. An excellent teaching file is available for review and fellows are encouraged to begin creating their own file.
Research is encouraged and fellows are given one day a week academic time.
Some seed money is available for fellows to begin projects. A generous travel allowance for meetings and AV material is available. McMaster is flexible in this regard. Click here for online applications and instructions. Your comments are welcome.
