Women's and Obstetric Anesthesia Fellowship
We are seeking an exceptional candidate to join the Department of Anesthesia as a women’s & obstetric anesthesia fellow. Our fellowship offers advanced clinical training, teaching and research in a setting that employs a full range of state-of-the-art obstetric and anesthetic services. As a tertiary care hospital that delivers more than 5,000 babies per year, the IWK provides an interesting and challenging case mix that ensures exposure to all varieties of high-risk obstetric patients, as well as ample clinical exposure to normal pregnancies.
Expand your horizons with leading edge clinical, research and education programs in chronic pain, regional anesthesia, and women's & obstetric anesthesia and blood management.
The fellowship program is structured to ensure optimal patient care while offering plentiful opportunities for the fellow to develop skills in clinical care and judgment, teaching, and research.
The successful candidate will provide anesthesia care for a vast range of obstetric cases, for non-obstetric surgery during pregnancy, for non-operative diagnostic and interventional procedures requiring anesthesia, and for assisted reproductive technologies.
The fellow will design and perform, with appropriate support, at least one research project or quality assurance exercise. The program allocates non-clinical time and provides mentors for clinical, education and research goals and projects.
