B.C. Clinical Anesthesiology Fellowship

The B.C. Clinical Anesthesiology Fellowship is a patient-focused initiative that  supports equitable access to government-funded anesthesiology services for citizens across B.C. It also provides participants with an opportunity to train and qualify as a practicing anesthesiologist in B.C.

The Province funds a designated number of B.C. Clinical Anesthesiology Fellowship positions annually for U.S.-trained physicians who have successfully completed a four-year anesthesiology residency accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, have completed U.S. licensing examinations, and are board certified/board eligible in anesthesiology.

In exchange, participants complete a two-year Return of Service (ROS) following completion of their 12-month fellowship.
