Medical Exchange Programme
The European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) initiated a Medical Exchange Programme in 2001, with the aim of enhancing the clinical skills of fellows through periods of attachment to specialised HIV units.
The ambition was to ultimately foster clinical and scientific collaboration across Europe. Since then, more than 130 HIV clinicians from 50 countries have been trained. This led in several cases to publications in peer reviewed journals and oral presentations at major conferences.
EACS has continuously adapted the programme to ensure it delivers on its promise.
In 2019, the Medical Exchange Programme was restructured and will now offer a Short Clinical Exchange Programme (launching in November 2019) and a Career Development Fellowship (launching in 2020), both targeted at young individuals working in the field of HIV.
The Short Clinical Exchange Programme aims to promote clinical, research and educational links between centres across Europe and facilitate exchange of models of clinical care in HIV medicine and allied specialities.
Applications are closed.
The Career Development Fellowship aims to provide a link between an HIV physician in training with an established European key opinion leader, over a period of 12 months, to facilitate mentorship and help career progression.
Applications are closed.
