Application Process

Transplant Hepatology Fellowship Positions

We have four funded transplant hepatology fellowship positions. Applications for one or two year fellowship positions are accepted depending on the fellow’s needs and future career goals.

We do accept applications from Foreign Medical Graduates and do not require the ECFMG examinations, but in Canada we require a passing score on the TOEFL exams and the applicant’s education must be approved by the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario (http://www.cpso.on.ca/) to qualify for an Educational License.

1. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

All Clinical Fellows are responsible for the following:

Work permit for non-citizens

The University of Toronto Postgraduate Medical Education Office will provide you with the necessary authorization to obtain a work permit upon receipt of your application and final approval of your appointment to the University. You will be responsible for applying for the work permit upon receipt of instructions from the University

CPSO medical license

You must apply to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario for a Certificate of Registration for Postgraduate Medical Education well in advance of the start date of your training to ensure you will be granted a license on time to begin the program.

Malpractice Insurance

You must apply to the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) for membership so that you will have malpractice insurance on time to commence the program.

Health Coverage UHIP/OHIP

The Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) covers basic health care costs and is available for Canadian citizens/Permanent Residents.  It is also available for international trainees (and accompanying family members) on work permits if their training appointment is at least 6 months in duration.   University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) coverage must be purchased if trainees or their accompanying family members are ineligible for OHIP.
