As a pediatric anesthesia fellow, you will receive advanced clinical training, teaching and research in a setting that employs a full range of state-of-the-art pediatric and anesthetic services. IWK Health cares for children, youth, women and newborns in Canada’s Maritime provinces and beyond. Affiliated with the Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine, the IWK is renowned for its world-class research into diseases and disorders affecting children and women and is the primary clinical resource for pediatric and obstetric teaching for health professions in the Maritimes.
The fellowship is one year and emphasizes a solid foundation in community pediatric anesthesia while exposing the fellow to extensive surgical services. The program also offers experience in off-site anesthesia, particularly for interventional cardiology and diagnostic imaging. Major surgical services include craniofacial, neuro, spine/ortho, general, cardiac, urology, ophthalmology, and ENT. Fellows rotate in the PICU for a 4-week block, where they are exposed to a wide variety of medical and post-surgical issues. Fellows also rotate with the IWK’s pediatric acute pain service and multi-disciplinary chronic pain team.
