Description

This is a ‘self-directed’ fellowship to expand the physician’s knowledge and surgical skills in all aspects of facial and body aesthetic surgery. In addition, there is the opportunity to attend the Okanagan Skin Care Centre to gain experience and knowledge in all aspects of a non-surgical aesthetic practice.

Fellows will work at the Okanagan Health Surgical Centre; a three-OR private surgical facility to gain experience in aesthetic surgery as well as the ability to attend Kelowna General Hospital to gain further exposure to all forms of breast reconstruction, including microsurgery.

There are eight Plastic Surgeons in the Kelowna group, and the Fellow will have the ability to choose which slates to attend each day.  There is also the opportunity to attend office consultation and follow up days.

Fellows who qualify for Full Licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC, and have Class 86 insurance with CMPA will also qualify to perform on call services.

The Fellowship is funded by Mentor, Johnson & Johnson for $35,000 / 6 months in addition to revenue earned while on call.

The Fellowship is also endorsed by the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (CSAPS).
