Requisits
Eligibility:
The Fellow:
  • Citizens of any country are eligible to apply to this programme; however, the nursing care training must be undertaken in a European institution or clinic
  • Candidates must have a nursing qualification (a general nursing degree with or without special nursing credentials, such as neurological nursing, rehabilitation nursing, etc.) and be licensed for nursing practice in their home country.
  • It is anticipated that successful candidates will have some, but not necessarily extensive, full or part time MS nursing experience at their home institution and will return to their home institution after training, better prepared to excel in MS nursing and to better support people living with MS and the MS clinical care team.
  • In general, successful candidates will be 55 years of age or younger, and will anticipate continuing in their MS nursing careers upon completion of the training.
  • Candidates and their mentors must affirm that there will be no language barriers that will impede the training experience.

    The Training Mentor and Institution:
  • The training institution/mentor must be located in Europe, with outstanding reputation and credentials related to MS clinical care. While it is anticipated that the training institution will be a hospital/clinic in or closely affiliated with an academic medical center, private clinic training sites will be considered if they are of outstanding quality and reputation in MS care.
  • The fellowship candidate must identify and solicit the agreement of an appropriate mentor for the training period. It is expected that the lead mentor will be an experienced MS nurse or team of nurses. If assistance is needed in identifying an appropriate training site/mentor, the ECTRIMS Secretariat may be able to provide advice and direction.
  • A relevant clinic director must be identified and must agree to host the trainees in his/her clinic/department; the training institution must certify its willingness to support the trainee during the fellowship period.
  • The training institution may be in the same city or country as the home institution, but fellows wishing to train in a different city or different European country are encouraged, so long as language and nursing licensing requirements do not present barriers to a successful training period.

    The Training Plan:
  • For the comprehensive training programme (6 months – 1 year): The trainee and mentor must outline and present a comprehensive nursing care training programme for evaluation. This may include observational training and/or hands-on clinical care under the guidance of the mentor/team, relevant academic course work and other training-related activities. A special clinical or clinical research project may be part of the training experience and if included, should be documented and justified within the context of a comprehensive nurse training fellowship experience.
  • For the short-term, flexible specialized MS nurse training: The trainee or mentor must outline a brief nursing care training programme for evaluation, not more than one page in length. This may include observational and/or hands-on clinical care under the guidance of the mentor/team, academic course work
  • Dotació
    - Personal stipend of €55,000 for 1 year or €27,500 for 6 months (stipend will be prorated for periods between 6 months and 1 year).
    - Economy round-trip transportation
