Mentees

 

As a mentee in this programme you have the chance to interact with an experienced professional in the field of neurology and ask for advice on specific projects or personal development.

You will build a collaborative cross generational relationship with your mentor and engage in mutual learning. You will work closely together on creating a roadmap and stages for reaching your developmental goals.

We try to provide 1:1 mentorship in an area important to your personal career development and where you have no access to a mentor who can advise you.

  • You are an EAN individual Member or RRFS member
  • You are a neurology resident or neurologist within 5 years since national board certification (junior consultant), PhD student, PhD graduate (within 5 years of graduation), or Post-Doc (within 5 years from starting the post-doc position)
  • You are ready to take initiative and define concrete career goals
  • You are willing to learn and interested in professional development
  • You are prepared to share your learnings and new perspectives with your mentor
  • You can declare presence of an unmet mentoring need
