The University of Alberta, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, in partnership with Alberta Health Services (AHS) in Edmonton, Alberta is inviting applications for a one-year Fellowship Locum Adult Cardiac Anesthesiologist position at the University of Alberta Hospital commencing July 1, 2026.
Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the Faculty has been internationally recognized as among the world’s top 50 medical schools and as one of Canada’s premier health-education institutions. With unified health care across the province, Alberta Health Services provides a patient-focused quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
The adult cardiac anesthesiology fellowship at the University of Alberta is designed to help fellows evolve into accomplished consultants through exposure to care of patients at a quaternary cardiac surgical centre. The fellow will be involved in the perioperative anesthetic management for a variety of clinical cases including: surgical revascularization, open-heart valve repair/replacement, percutaneous valve interventions, minimally invasive valve procedures, cardiac and pulmonary transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, procedures in the patient with adult congenital heart disease, and major aortic + endovascular procedures. In addition to the cardiac operating room, fellows will provide care to patients in the cardiac catheterization and electrophysiologic lab as well as the cardiovascular pre-admission clinic.
This position will be 0.5 FTE clinical time, with the other 0.5 FTE being dedicated to non-clinical work relating to their fellowship program. The Clinical component incorporates duties expected of the anesthesia staff at the University Hospital: anesthesia delivery in the operative setting, provision of outpatient clinic consultations, teaching of medical students and residents, and participation in the general on-Call rota. Successful applicants should have a strong interest and passion for cardiac anesthesia and demonstrated an interest in teaching and research in the past.
