ESPE Clinical Fellowship Spring Initiative 2021
The year 2021 marks the 30th Anniversary of the ESPE Clinical Fellowship programme that was started with one fellow back in 1991 by Prof. S.L.S. Drop, and until now has included over 250 trainees from over 30 countries and 4 continents. In April 2021, we delivered 3.5 hours of educational online content, called the ESPE Clinical Fellowship Spring Initiative, to provide an online space to gather former and current ESPE clinical fellows, their hosts and tutors as well as 2020 applicants. The content is now available online for all to watch! It is a mixture of state-of-the-art presentations, tutors’ patient presentations, fellows’ presentations (cases and research) and live Q&A sessions. The programme for the Initiative can be found here. The Clinical Fellowship Committee is indebted to Charlotte Homa, Alex Penhallurick, Ollie Taylor and Chris McCusker (Bioscientifica) for their invaluable input in the organisation and carrying out the Spring Initiative!
