Clinical fellowship
Breast Cancer Reconstruction Fellowship (Women's College Hospital / Toronto General Hospital)
A one-year breast reconstruction fellowship shared between Women's College Hospital and Toronto General Hospital. Training covers microsurgical, pedicled-flap, implant-based and oncoplastic reconstruction, with exposure to congenital breast deformity, reduction, mastopexy and augmentation. The page quotes annual volumes of roughly 200 microsurgical, 50 pedicled-flap and 150-200 implant reconstructions across the two sites.
- Location
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Duration
- One year, split into two six-month rotations (Women's College Hospital and Toronto General Hospital); the year runs 2 July to 30 June
- Clinical participation
- Full-time clinical post with two rotation sequences; research opportunities available; attendance at the annual Toronto breast surgery symposium is mandatory
- International applicants
- Two posts per year; the page says the post starting at Women's College is usually reserved for international trainees and the one starting at UHN for Canadian residency graduates. Applicants not eligible to practise in Canada must supply a letter committing external financial support.
- Funding
- Salary follows PARO guidelines. The page names MENTOR (Johnson & Johnson) as sponsor and mentions travel support for one Canadian or American breast symposium. Applicants not eligible to practise in Canada must show external support of at least CAD 85,564.01 for 2026-27 (amount updated yearly).
- Application timing
- The programme page states 2026-27 applications are closed and gives no next-cycle date. A Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons posting (listed 15 Oct 2026) shows a 30 Nov 2026 deadline for the same fellowship text. Confirm which cycle applies with the programme.
