E-Fellowship Programme

ESMINT is offering e-Fellowships to eligible* ESMINT members who are accredited to independently perform neurointerventional procedures. This innovative programme is made possible through a generous educational grant from our industry partners.

The Call for Applications for the 2025 e-Fellowship Programme is open. The application deadline is Tuesday, 14 January 2025, and the programme will commence in February 2025.

What is an e-Fellowship?

The 6-month e-Fellowship programme provides ESMINT Members with the opportunity to interact directly with an ESMINT Mentor and remotely view neurointerventional procedures that are of interest to them.

Key Features:

One-on-One Mentorship: Individual discussions between the mentor and the e-Fellow, allowing tailored guidance.
Live-Streamed Procedures: Direct communication with the treating physician during live-streamed interventions, supported by Tegus Medical technology.
Joint Sessions: Collaborative learning experiences where all e-Fellows can observe, with one actively interacting with the mentor while others engage via chat.

The goal of the e-Fellowship programme is to expose young neurointerventionalists to the breadth of neurointerventional procedures performed by highly experienced professors of neurointervention who are members of ESMINT.

Fellows will be exposed to all aspects of interventional neuroradiology including a broad range of vascular interventions – treatment of acute ischemic stroke, cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations of the brain, and congenital cerebral and spinal malformations.

It was a privilege to be one of the first people in this revolutionary program in which I was able to actively participate in neurointerventional cases from different angiosuites across Europe. It opened my eyes and gave me a huge push forward in learning and comprehensive neurointervention as a whole. It was literally an otherworldly experience to stand beside (even though virtually) some of the greatest and forward-thinking neurointerventionalist today. With this program that famous quote by Isaac Newton: ” If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon shoulders of giants” really came to life, metaphorically and literally ?
