Curriculum

Fellows s will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate accommodation and locate amenities). Desk space will be allocated. Full induction (safety, laboratory practices, personal welfare) will be provided by the University’s designated staff and by myself. I will arrange an initial meeting with the fellows to discuss the objectives of the training.

The fellows will be fully trained to all activities of the Department. They will be able to engage with me (supervisor) and other members of the group in different medical procedures. They will also be engaged in clinical research and write a manuscript during their stay depending on their interest.

The fellows will be given the opportunity to actively participate in group meetings and other academic activities within the School and the University, including attending workshops, conferences, etc. They will also be encouraged to present their work orally at a group meeting at least once before they complete their visit.

Towards the end of the training, I will have a meeting with the fellows to discuss plans to publish their clinical work (if enough data collected) or disseminate their findings at a future conference.

Throughout the training, any particular challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.
