EAN-Clinical Fellowship

European Academy of Neurology

The objective of the “Clinical Fellowship Programme” is to provide a well-defined clinical observational experience in a department with recognised expertise in a specific field.
With this programme, neurologists that are still in the process of training, or recently qualified and setting up a new service/practice can learn from observing the usual practice in that new department, including any or all of clinical practice, service structures or specific techniques conducted in the hosting department.

Grant

The programme is designed for a minimum stay of 6 up to a maximum of 12 weeks in a hosting department outside the country of residence (with a minimum frequency of 5 days per week).

Since 2021, the number of granted weeks have been increased from 210 weeks (35x 6 weeks) to 300 weeks. The granted weeks per application are based on justification for the length of the stay and the grades of the reviewers .
The grant for the programme will be €425 per week, plus travelling costs (up to a maximum of €300 for the trip to the host department and back home).

Travelling costs will only be reimbursed after the end of the Clinical Fellowship, upon receipt of the final report, a confirmation from the mentor at the host department, as well as the evaluation forms.
The final report should include a summary of all activities during the fellowship and the achieved knowledge/skills.

Ideally, the grantee has knowledge of the language at the host department, as not all patient-rounds can be held in English.

Support for neurologists in training from Ukraine:

As in the past 2 years, five additional Clinical Fellowships will be made available to RRFS members from Ukraine to support a stay of 6 to 12 weeks in another European neurological department in 2025.
