2020 Interdisciplinary Fellowship Program
The competition deadline has now passed and is in the review process. Thank you to those who took the time to submit an Intent to Apply.
A crucial part of Canadian Frailty Network’s mandate is to develop the next generation of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) – the scientists and educators, clinicians, and health and social services professionals that will improve care for older adults living with frailty. The CFN Interdisciplinary Fellowship Program goes beyond traditional academic and clinical training opportunities by offering enriched experiential learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. In New Brunswick, the competition is presented in collaboration with the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation (NBHRF).
