    Clinical Fellow Funding & Income Support Guidelines

    Preamble

    The Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) office at McMaster University facilitates the education appointments for
    Clinical Fellowships. All Clinical Fellows must have a funding source and income support throughout the term of the
    appointment.

    The purpose of these guidelines is to safeguard the McMaster learner by stipulating a minimal annual income. PGME
    supports a variety of funding models while maintaining a fair and equitable working environment.

    General Guidelines

    1. The Postgraduate Medical Education Committee has approved that Clinical Fellows must receive a minimum annual
    income of $50,000 CAD (does not include benefits). These guidelines do not apply to externally sponsored gulf state
    learners and those who are admitted through McMaster’s International Outreach program (IOP).

    2. Clinical Fellowship programs are responsible to ensure funding is secured. PGME will not approve fellowship
    appointments at McMaster University if there is no funding source.

    vi. Scholarship Awards
    vii. Pharmaceutical Grants
    viii. Government Organizations
    ix. Self-funding (refer to Self-Funding Guidelines)

    Self-Funding Guidelines

    1. Clinical Fellows with an independent practice license can self-bill within the scope of their practice through OHIP
    billing providing:
    i. Funding model is built into the fellowship curriculum of the fellowship program
    ii. Fellowship is educationally driven with goals & objectives
    iii. Clearly defined goals & objectives are agreed upon by both the program and the Clinical Fellow
    iv. There is an established method of formal assessment (i.e., every 3-months, every-6-months, etc)
    v. Clinical Fellows cannot be the most responsible physician (MRP) for the patient population seen for the
    purposes of the fellowship.

    2. Clinical Fellows cannot be privately funded (i.e., income from their own personal savings, spouse or family member).

    Funding Guidelines Review


    Self-Funding Guidelines will be reviewed biennial by the Clinical Fellowship Committee, PGME and recommended
    changes if applicable must be forwarded to the Postgraduate Medical Education Committee for review and approval.
