Clinical research fellowships 

The uOttawa Department of Emergency Medicine offers a Clinical Research Fellowship designed for residents and/or graduates of certified residency programs in emergency medicine. The goal of the fellowship is to provide a sound background in the principles and practice of clinical research for physicians who plan a career in academic emergency medicine. 

We offer a 2-year program that has fellows obtaining a MSc degree from the U Ottawa Department of Epidemiology. Fellows will plan and conduct clinical research under the close and regular supervision of experienced researchers (Ian Stiell MD, George Wells PhD, Jeff Perry MD, Christian Vaillancourt MD, Venkatesh Thiruganasambandamoorthy MD, Biostatistician, Monica Taljaard PhD and others of the Emergency Medicine Research Group). 

We have trained many fellows from around the world. Fellows will have limited clinical responsibilities working as junior faculty and will have no teaching or administrative duties. Fellows can expect an annual income well in excess of that paid to residents. 

May do the 1st year of the Fellowship during their PGY4 year and the 2nd year following their PGY5 year.  

Are required to be self-funded and will not be paid by our institution. All international fellows are responsible for obtaining a student visa. 

Application process

Please note that we can only accept applications from graduates of approved emergency medicine training programs. We will not accept applications from physicians without these credentials and whose training was in another discipline. The annual deadline for applications is Jan. 1 with an expected start date of Sept.  You must apply to the Department of Emergency Medicine as well as to the Department of Epidemiology.

Please do not hesitate to contact Carolyne Kennedy at cakennedy@ohri.ca as early as possible, expressing your interest. Please send a two page letter outlining your career goals and your objectives for the program, your C.V., examples of previous research (abstracts, manuscripts, presentations), and names of two references.

A separate application must be made for the MSc Epidemiology program at uOttawa with a deadline of Dec. 1.
