PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What this program offers
A one-year broad clinical fellowship or two-year clinical-and-research pathway delivered across two linked children’s hospitals. McGill publishes the faculty, rotations, weekly clinical schedule, call, teaching and research expectations, but not the funding, eligibility or next application date.
BENEFITS & SUPPORT
Published benefits and support
Approximately two clinic days and two operative days weekly, protected study or research time, monthly resident teaching, journal clubs and completion of at least one clinical research project for presentation and peer-reviewed publication.
Benefits may depend on appointment type, training level, visa status and the active academic year. OrthoFellow keeps stipend and benefits separate so a salary figure is not mistaken for the full package.
