AEPC Mentorship programme

AEPC Mentorship programme

We are pleased to invite applications for the AEPC Mentorship Programme, a new initiative designed to support the development of AEPC young members through structured mentorship.

The mentorship could focus on professional, scientific, and/or educational aspects.

Eligibility criteria

Applicants must:

• Be AEPC Young Members in good standing throughout the period of mentorship (initial period: one year)
• Commit to at least three mentorship meetings over one year
• Submit a motivation letter together with an actual curriculum vitae (CV)
• The motivation letter should specify the expectations of the trainee or main topic of interest.

Selection process

Applications will be evaluated using the following scoring grid:

• AEPC registration year (priority given to more recent members): 0–3 points
• Training level (residents, fellows, or ≤5 years post-training): 0–3 points
• Documented interest in the field: 0–3 points
• Scientific and/or educational activity: 0–2 points

Local approval

Formal approval from the applicant’s local supervisor is required.

This should confirm:

• Institutional support for participation
• Absence of conflict with the applicant’s current training programme

This approval can be provided in the form of a brief letter or email.

Application deadline

All applications must be submitted by 31 March 2026. Send your application by email to the AEPC office office@aepc.org.

We aim to complete the matching process before the AEPC 2026 Padua meeting, and possibly provide a space for face-to-face meetings there.

We strongly encourage our eligible young members to apply and take advantage of this opportunity for guided professional growth within the AEPC community.
