How does it work?
- This online coaching programme takes place over 12 months.
- Each mentor is paired with a mentee and together they are expected to develop a research, education and/or quality improvement project, to be carried out over the 12-month cycle. Selected candidates will also participate in networking events organised by the EAPCI.
- Each month, a two-hour online meeting (or two, one-hour online meetings) at a time agreed by the participants, will focus on professional achievements/challenges and/or updates on research projects. In addition, the mentee can contact the mentor via email, if needed.
- Mentor and mentee can agree on remote proctoring on selected procedural cases based on bilateral availabilities.
- This is a voluntary programme for mentors and mentees.
The EAPCI Selection Committee is responsible for assigning a mentor to the selected candidates.
