Members of Lupus Ontario have established an annual fellowship in memory of their colleague, the late Geoff Carr. The fellowship is designed to provide advanced training to a rheumatologist specializing in lupus at an Ontario lupus clinic. The lupus fellow will follow patients at an accredited lupus clinic, supervise patient care and education, and become involved in clinical research. The stipend attached to the Geoff Carr Lupus Fellowship will be $65,000 Cdn. Candidates must arrange their own place of training at an accredited lupus clinic in Ontario for one year.
The successful candidate will likely have completed his/her core training in Internal Medicine or Pediatrics and have completed a minimum of two years in rheumatology.
Awards are made on the recommendation of Arthritis Society Canada’s review panel. Lupus Ontario administers the Fellowship.
