Dr Lisa Dewar (APAGBI Trainee Representative and ST7 Anaesthetist) and Dr Matthew Tang (ST4 Anaesthetist) speak with Dr Éireann Allen and Dr Julia Parnell, two UK-trained post-CCT anaesthetists undertaking paediatric anaesthesia fellowships in Canada.

In this podcast, they discuss why they chose Canada for their fellowships, the academic and research opportunities available at SickKids and BC Children's Hospital, and what a typical week as a fellow involves. They also explore the transition from the UK to the Canadian healthcare system, levels of supervision and autonomy during fellowship, the role of the Transitional Pain Service at SickKids, and how their fellowship experiences unexpectedly shaped their career aspirations. The episode concludes with practical advice and tips for UK anaesthetists considering an international paediatric anaesthesia fellowship.
