Applicants must indicate their funding status on the online application form. International trainees are required to be eligible for licensure in the Province of Alberta OR must have secured institutional or government funding. The minimum salary recommended by our Postgraduate Office is $60K Cdn/year. Fellowship trainees without their own institutional funding must perform clinical service to offset salary (which may include regular ECG reading, and a small commitment to inpatient ward service and daytime emergency consultation). The Heart Failure & Cardiac Transplant program has limited competitive funding that may be accessible to international trainees.
