George Mines Travelling Fellowship

The George Mines Travelling Fellowship will provide recognition and funding to outstanding Canadian arrhythmia specialists early in their careers, and provide a reliable supply of future Canadian leaders in this field. The Fellowship will support training abroad for Canadian Arrhythmia Fellows, with the intent of acquiring advanced academic arrhythmia clinical, research and/or educational skills. A total of $70,000 CND will be awarded for each Fellowship.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the Fellowship candidates must:

1. be a member in good standing of the Canadian Heart Rhythm Society;
2. be a permanent resident or citizen of Canada; 
3. be a physician who has or is training in a Canadian cardiology or cardiac arrhythmia program; and
4. have arranged for a position in an academic training program outside of Canada. 

Additional Considerations

1. Candidates will be eligible regardless of whether or not they hold advanced degrees in research or education.
2. Clinical fellowships without a strong academic focus are not eligible.
3. Preference will be given to fellows who have an offer of employment in a Canadian academic arrhythmia centre.
