ELIGIBILITY:

For physicians to obtain mentored clinical training in a European MS centre to enhance their MS clinical care expertise

Citizens of any country are eligible to apply to this programme. However, clinical training must be undertaken in a European laboratory or clinic that is different than the applicant’s current workplace of 12 months or longer

The following list (click here) provides information on previous host institutions, but applicants are encouraged to apply for their fellowships at other European institutions not listed in this document

The application requires documents from the candidate, the proposed mentor, and the proposed host training institute, as well as other professional referees

Successful fellows and their mentors will be asked to provide progress and financial accounting reports at the end of the fellowship year

Candidates must hold an MD or equivalent medical degree prior to application for the training programme. Having completed a relevant internship and residency is desirable, but candidates who have not yet completed internships or residencies are eligible to apply.

In general, successful applicants will be under 40 years of age at the time of application; however, applicants who are older may still apply, and any special circumstances may be considered.
