Mentors

 

As a mentor you will guide and strengthen the next generation of neurologists, by making sure that research and clinical neurology will develop.

By entering this relationship, you engage in mutual learning and strengthen your own leadership skills by spending a few hours every month mentoring an individual seeking for your advice.

Together with your mentee, you will work out a roadmap and define programme stages that can be achieved during the duration of the programme.

  • You are EAN Individual member, Fellow of EAN (FEAN) or National Neurological Society member
  • You are an approved expert in the field (key opinion leader)
  • You are passionate about sharing your career experiences
  • You interact and communicate effectively with others
  • You have enough time to support a mentee for a one-year period
  • You have a distinguished skill set to share with your mentee and are fluent in English

Benefits for mentors

The EAN mentorship programme has no financial obligations. It is not providing any financial aid to neither mentors nor mentees.

However, the EAN supports mentors in their task of mentoring throughout the duration of the programme and rewards participation and successful completion with the following benefits:

  • Free access to the annual EAN congress and events specific to the mentorship programme.
  • Free access to the EAN annual Spring or Autumn School to meet and interact with each other (mutual participation of mentor and mentee required)
  • Upon completion of the programme, certification as ‘EAN mentor’ for the acknowledged period. In future, long-term/regular mentors might possibility receive an extra certification/acknowledgement after a certain duration of participation in the programme.
  • Public acknowledgement (EANpages)

In addition to those EAN benefits, participation in the programme offers mentors to strengthen their own mentorship skills, which is certainly recognised by academic institutions all over the world.
