The goal of this fellowship is to provide training and research experience at a sufficient level for the fellow to acquire competency in the field of Nutrition. At least one major research project is to be undertaken during the fellowship. 

To be eligible for training in the subspecialty of clinical nutrition, a physician must have completed categorical residency training. This training may be in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, or subspecialty training such as adult or pediatric gastroenterology, endocrinology, or critical care.

The nutrition support program of Northern Alberta is based primarily at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH). However, fellows will be expected to participate in research meetings and observation of clinical activities at other sites, specifically at the University of Alberta (UAH), and within the region as it pertains to their research.

Each year we accept a maximum of one successful candidate into this advanced fellowship program; spots are competitive and we recommend applying early in the application cycle.
