The ESAIC Research Mentorship Programme aims to:
- Preserve and transfer accumulated professional knowledge within the anaesthesia and intensive care community
- Support individual academic anaesthetists in achieving their potential as researchers.
- Contribute to the ESAIC mission to connect anaesthesiologists in the field of research in Anaesthesia, Intensive Care, Perioperative Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Pain with senior experts (mentors) as a platform for professional exchange and mutual learning.
Experienced Investigators covering a wide range of anaesthesiology and intensive care specialties are selected as mentors and are matched with mentees by their field of interest. Mentors and mentees are encouraged to be in regular contact and set objectives for their programme. The mentorship programme lasts 2 years.
