These fellowships typically have an appointment of 12 months (starting July 1 and ending June 30) with the possibility of renewal depending on a fellow's career goals and availability of funding. 

Clinical and research training are conducted at hospital sites such as the Cross Cancer Institute, the Royal Alexandra Hospital, and the University of Alberta Hospital.
