The aim of the fellowships is to assist European surgeons, currently training in coloproctology, to undertake a visit to a centre out with their home country in Europe. Due to exceptional circumstances with covid, ESCP will consider completing fellowships in your home country.
ESCP has announced the following fellowship opportunity for the 2023 period:
- 2 x three-month fellowship on Functional Disorders
These fellowships will be supported by a €8000 grant from Medtronic.

- Have training in general surgery for a minimum of 5 years
- Are senior trainees or consultants at an early stage of their career
- Have a manifested interest in coloproctology (evidenced by practice, teaching, research or publications)
