Training level & pathway
Clinical fellowship for physicians who will return to an academic position on completion.
Participation / hands-on scope

Medical registration & licensing
University of Toronto PGME policy: clinical fellows must qualify for a CPSO postgraduate educational licence and be recognised as specialists in their prior jurisdiction of practice. Apply for the licence after university acceptance; a fellowship alone does not lead to permanent specialist practice in Ontario.
Language requirement
No programme-specific language score is recorded in the cited profile. Confirm the clinical working language and any formal test requirement.
Visa & work authorisation
University-wide clinical-fellow onboarding: visa-exempt entry does not remove the work-permit requirement. Ask the PGME Visa Administrator whether an existing open work permit is acceptable; upload the issued permit to CPSO after arrival.
NeuroSurgFellow does not guarantee admission, licensing, visas, employment, funding or operative privileges. Requirements may change by intake and appointment.
