2021 Helios UCMG Post Fellowship Training Awards

Congratulations to the 11 Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) graduates awarded a Helios University of Calgary Medical Group (UCMG) Post Fellowship Training Award in 2021. They will focus on several specialties in locations across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The awards allow some of our most outstanding clinical trainees to undertake additional Fellowship training at other institutions and bring their expertise back to benefit our Calgary community. They are funded by contributions from UCMG via the Clinical Faculty Renewal Fund, the Helios Clinic, the Calgary Foundation, the CSM and our departments.

More than 60 CSM graduates have been supported through Helios UCMG Post Fellowship Training Awards since 2012.
