Trillium Gift of Life Network - Clinical Fellowship in Organ Donation Science

Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) is proud to announce an opportunity for study and research in the field of organ donation science. The fellowship will provide matched salary support to a physician who has completed critical care training to allow for protected time for study and research in the area of donation.

There are two components to this fellowship:

Advanced education is provided to the Clinical Fellow through apprenticeship experience throughout the spectrum of donation practice from donor identification through to organ and tissue recovery and family follow up. Clinical experience will be provided at the local academic institution as well as through centralized activity at TGLN. Through participation in the Donation Support Physician call roster, graduated involvement in leadership and education activities, and case conferences, the Clinical Fellow will become an integral part of the senior donation physician network in Ontario. The expectation is that at the end of the one-year term the Clinical Fellow will have the competency to advocate for and educate others on organ and tissue donation.

Academic Project Activities

The second deliverable of this fellowship is the undertaking of an academic project in Research, Education or Quality Improvement Science. This fellowship is designed to allow the Clinical Fellow protected time to complete an academic project during the one year term collaboratively with educators and scientists currently on the TGLN team. As appropriate, TGLN will provide access to data sources as well as mentorship by senior researchers, administrators and experts with experience in the associated domain of donation science and practice. This includes resources to support program development, evaluation, and program delivery for those Clinical Fellows undertaking education and process improvement projects.

• The estimated time commitment is one day per week in addition to time required to complete the scholarly project(s).
• Stipend support will be provided in the form of $60, 000 to be matched by the local academic institution.
