ESGE Mentoring Programme - Mentee Application

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

This is a one-year support programme designed for GI endoscopists who wish to be supported by a mentor in their professional development and/or in their research and academic development.The programme aims to promote diversity in the ESGE community and to support endoscopists who have had difficulty finding mentors and/or role models in their immediate community or who have been hindered in their professional development due to their personal, economic, or social situation.

The mentoring programme is not a fellowship grant programme and improvement of endoscopy skills is not the sole or primary purpose of it. Rather it is a programme designed at addressing core career needs in a personal way and mentoring can make all the difference in making progress for the mentee.

The call for mentees is for ESGE individual members who would like to be supported on their career path.
