Fellowship Network
Fellowship Network
What is it?
The fellowship network is an online resource for anaesthesia trainess in their final years of training who are considering applyign for a specialty fellowship abroad following completion of formal training in Ireland.
Often the best people to talk to about a particular fellowship are those who have recently undertaken that fellowship themselves. They will be able to give advice on what to expect from working and living in a foreign city and what to expect to get out of a particular fellowship. As trainees in Ireland, we don’t rotate through every teaching hospital; therefore there may be missed opportunities to gather information from those consultants who have completed interesting fellowships.
The fellowship network consists of consultants and fellows who have recently completed or are currently undertaking fellowships accross the world. The contributors have kindly agreed to allow their details to be available to trainees wishing to get extra information about a number of fellowships. They are happy to be contacted via email and help in any way they can with making your decision and application process easier. Details are listed by speciality and by region.
How to go about applying for a fellowship?
Having decided on a fellowship that might be for you, then the next step will be the applicaiton process. The application process for fellowships differs greatly from centre to centre. Some fellowship posts accept applications on a rolling basis and appointments are made in a similar manner. Conversely, some fellowships (particularly in the UK) advertise approximately 6 – 12 months in advance and applications will only be considered then.
Specific details on the application process can usually be found on the website of the hospital in question. Be sure to check well in advance of what is required for applicaiton! Be advised that you likely be competing against trainees from the host country and, in some cases; fellowships are awarded preferentially to those trained ‘at home’. It is advisable to contact the centre of your choice early in order to express an intered and to enquire about their specific application process.
