Academic Facilities:

The Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital serves as the sole training site for pediatric otolaryngology. The hospital offers fellows complete pediatric experience; clinics operate five days a week and include designed subspecialty clinics. A wide range of patients and referrals as well as complex cases are seen through the clinics. The Montreal Children鈥檚 Hospital also offers a busy consultation service again providing fellows with exposure in a wide range of pediatric otolaryngology and pathologic conditions.

The operative experience also includes exposure to a wide range of more complex surgical procedures in all pediatric otolaryngology subspecialties including otology, rhinology, laryngology and head and neck surgeries.

Fellows will have access as the residents to all 捆绑SM社区 Faculty of Medicine facilities including its libraries, internet and 捆绑SM社区 Simulation centre.

There is enough material to share between the residents and fellows so that the resources used for the fellowship do not interfere with residency training, however fellows will not compete with the residents for clinical or surgical case material, but will rather complement the training experience of the residents.
