Job Description

The London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP) is seeking an experienced and motivated individual for the CIBC Lung Fellowship. The Fellowship is a sub-specialty training program in the Division of Medical Oncology at the London Regional Cancer Program (LRCP), part of the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in London, Ontario, Canada.

The LRCP serves as a regional referral Centre for tertiary oncology cancer for Southwestern Ontario with a catchment of over 1.5 million people. The Lung disease site team consists of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, interventional pulmologists, nurses and pharmacists with specific expertise in translational and clinical research and education.

The intent of the fellowship would be to provide fundamental clinical training to the Lung fellow but also pair the clinical training with opportunities in research, education, quality improvement and translational research – fields which we have additional expertise available through the program. The fellowship program has a successful history of producing highly productive trainees and they have gone on to contribute in a significant way to lung oncology throughout Canada.

During their training, the fellow will participate in a weekly full-day longitudinal Lung medical oncology clinic and provide support for these patients on non-clinic days to prepare a transition to independent practice. They will also participate in a weekly clinic, rotating with thoracic oncology staff. The Clinical Research Fellow will also be expected to conduct research in drug clinical trials, translational studies, and other clinical research including, but not limited to, meta-analyses and reviews. They will be expected to have an abstract presented at an international meeting and multiple publications in a peer-reviewed journals each year.

Training Experience Required

  • The applications are invited from physicians who hold a Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or equivalent training.
  • Candidates will have completed a training program from one of the oncology subspecialties, be licensed with, or eligible for an educational license from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
  • If the language of instruction at your medical school was other than English, you must have written your IELTS test and obtained a Band score of 7 or higher to be eligible to apply. No exceptions.

Time Commitments

  • 40% of time will be devoted to clinical experience and direct patient interaction.
  • This will include Lung oncology clinics at LRCP, participation in consult service and opportunities for on-call service with oncology and clinical research programs.
  • 60% of the time will be devoted to conceptualizing, conduct and implementation of specific research projects.
  • The project(s) will be geared toward Lung oncology, although it is reasonable for motivated trainees to conduct other work to maximize their experience. Projects will be feasible to complete within a short time period of the fellowship. Although the focus is on clinical research projects, opportunities for experience with small projects, in the basic science laboratories will be offered.
  • The candidate will be expected to assist in the completion of on-going projects from previous fellow(s).
  • Attendance at the following regular meetings will be considered mandatory:
  • Grand Rounds: weekly for the Departments of Oncology
  • Oncology Research and Education Day
  • Lung multidisciplinary rounds
  • Molecular Tumour Boards
  • It is expected that a one- or two-year commitment will be made by the fellow to allow completion of the fellowship objectives. The fellow will be expected to take part in limited amount of after-hours and weekend coverage for the appropriate Oncology division which will be negotiated at the start of the fellowship.
