Pediatric Cardiology Fellowships in Canada: 7 Recorded Programs

International medical graduates who are board-eligible/certified pediatric cardiologists and not licensed to practise in Canada. Students and physicians without substantial cardiology experience are not accepted.

Department-level rules stated on the University of Toronto Paediatrics page: as a common rule, candidates must have completed three years of training in general paediatrics. Residency positions are available to Canadians and landed immigrants with undergraduate medical training in accredited North American medical schools and are approved by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Clinical fellowship positions are available to candidates whose medical training was completed outside North America, provided they hold specialty certification in Paediatrics from their country of training; clinical fellowship training for international medical graduates is not accreditable toward Royal College certification. This is a department-wide statement, not a rule written for this single program.

McGill’s program page states: “Applicants must have completed at least three years of core training in a pediatric residency program to be eligible to enter the Cardiology Subspecialty Residency Program.”

International applicants are welcomed outside CaRMS subject to available capacity; applications must be submitted by the sponsoring agency directly to PGME, not by the trainee or directly to the programme.
