How to apply:
Please Fill in the form by clicking here: Application Form.
The referees will be contacted directly to learn about the candidate’s suitability for the fellowship and his ability to benefit patients/colleagues by his training. Preferably the referees should be someone with whom the candidate has worked in the recent past.
The fellowship application is considered complete only when the referees have responded to the request for a reference for the candidate, therefore it is suggested that you confirm the email address and ensure that they respond to the request.
The fellowship is granted on a first come first serve basis, to the suitable candidate whose application is complete.
Once the Offer for the fellowship for a particular period is made, and the candidate accepts, any change of date will not be possible, so please consider ALL your circumstances BEFORE accepting the offer. Once accepted, only in very rare situations, would any changes be made.
Candidates accepting an offer for a date in the future, and then backing out at the time of joining, have basically robbed another deserving candidate of the opportunity, and therefore will not be considered in the future for fellowships.
