Fellowship funding in Canada: what the verified directory shows
The Fellowship Finder verifies every Canadian clinical fellowship it lists against the program's own published pages. That gives a picture nobody else publishes: how many programs state their funding, and what they state. The figures on this page are read live from the directory, so they update automatically as programs are added and verified.

Method, honestly stated
- How records are checked
- Every record is verified against the program's own published pages and stamped with the date checked.
- "Not stated"
- The program's pages say nothing about funding. It is the most common answer. It is not a statement that the position is unpaid: the page does not answer the question.
- "Mixed"
- A program that funds Canadian fellows but requires international fellows to secure external funding is counted as mixed, because this directory is built for internationally trained physicians.
- Live figures
- Verification is ongoing, and this page reads the directory live, so its numbers move as coverage deepens.
- University policy
- Some records are confirmed from a university's own remuneration policy rather than from the individual program page. The University of Toronto is the only school verified that way so far: its postgraduate office requires every clinical fellow to be paid at or above the PGY3 rate and does not accept unpaid or self-funded arrangements, with an exception for sponsored trainees from countries holding a formal training agreement. Those records say so and carry the policy link.
- What it does not say
- An institutional rule is not a per-program promise, so confirm the amount with the program. Nothing here should be read as describing another university or Canada as a whole.
