ESCP Fellowships

Applications for 2024 are now CLOSED.

The aim of the fellowships is to assist European surgeons, currently training in coloproctology, to undertake a visit to a centre out with their home country in Europe.

ESCP has announced the following fellowship opportunity for the 2024 period:

2 x three-month fellowship on Functional Disorders

These fellowships will be supported by a €8000 grant from Medtronic.

Eligibility criteria

Successful applicants will be people who demonstrate potential for achieving a leadership position in colon and rectal surgery or proctology, and fulfil the following criteria:

Be a fully paid member of ESCP (i.e. full, affiliate etc.) for a minimum of 12 months
Have training in general surgery for a minimum of 5 years
Are senior trainees or consultants at an early stage of their career
Have a manifested interest in coloproctology (evidenced by practice, teaching, research or publications)
Can clearly define the benefit to be gained from this experience
The fellow must be a surgeon with license to practice colorectal surgery in the host centre – ESCP will provide guidance in securing the licence. But it is the responsibility of candidates to secure licensing and work permission requirements.
It is helpful if the fellow speaks the native language of the host hospital (fluent English might be accepted by most of the host centres).
