IHS is looking for host institutions for Headache Trainees and Short-stay Scholars20/02/2018
IHS offers grants and fellowships to young people to further their studies in Headache Medicine.
Two programmes are specifically aimed at young people from developing nations – the Education Committee ‘Headache Trainee Programme’ and the Trainees and Residents SIG ‘Short-stay Scholarship’. The information and application for both these programmes can be found HERE.
We are often asked by young people from these countries, who are not as in touch with the major research and clinical headache centres and headache specialists, for suggestions as to who they can approach to discuss a possible placement, and during the Emerging Leaders session held during IHC 2017 we said IHS would post a list of headache centres and mentors willing to accept fellows on the website.
We would be most grateful for your help with this. If you could host one of these Trainees or Scholars for the short period of time for these programmes (up to 3 months for the Trainee programme and from 4-6 weeks for the Short-stay Scholarship) please let us know. All we will need from you is:- Institution name
- Mentor name
