The University of Alberta, invite applications for our Oncoplastic Breast Surgical Oncology Fellowship for the 2027-2028 academic year.
Job Details:
This will be the 3rd year of this unique 1 year fellowship offered by the University of Alberta.
This fellowship provides fellows with a complete level 1 and 2 Oncoplastic surgical skillset for the management of breast disease, while ensuring that they are well versed in the multidisciplinary approach required for breast surgical oncology management.
2 out of the 3 Oncoplastic-trained Surgeons on staff were trained in Europe, and the 3rd is fellowship-trained within Canada. A full repertoire of Level 1-2 Oncoplastic techniques (including Oncoplastic reductions and chest wall perforator flaps) as well as immediate / delayed breast reconstruction techniques will therefore be taught.
Fellows will primarily work between two hospitals - the Cross Cancer Institute and the Misericordia Community Hospital, in Edmonton, AB. Fellows will have exposure to approximately 700 breast cancer cases during their fellowship year. Fellows will also have exposure to the multidisciplinary approach in breast surgical management, with rotations in radiology, pathology, radiation and medical oncology and plastic surgery.
The primary focus of the fellowship is in the management of complex breast disease, including benign and malignant breast pathology. Surgically, fellows will focus on developing their Oncoplastic skillset including level 1 and level 2 oncoplastic reconstruction, as well as skin sparing mastectomy with immediate and delayed implant and latissimus flap reconstruction. There will be exposure to microvascular breast reconstruction with plastic surgery.
Fellows are required to complete two research projects suitable for publication during their fellowship year. This can include a clinical project, systematic review, or formal graduate training. They will be assigned a research advisor suitable to their research interest.
Successful candidates will require a license to practice medicine in the province of Alberta and have completed a general surgery residency. Successful candidates must have protective medical liability insurance.
Interested candidates should submit:
a) comments on any future committed positions
b) personal goals for a fellowship
c) any funding from a sponsoring institution or country
