The RIMS Fellowship Programme

RIMS is pleased to offer a fellowship exchange programme (RIMS RFEP) that started in Autumn 2008.

The fellowship is available to young European professionals, preferably non-doctors, in order to facilitate their training in rehabilitation related to Multiple Sclerosis among RIMS member centres. The goal of the programme is to promote the multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation in MS and to encourage the exchange of information and professional growth for those working in the field of MS.

RIMS will support up to three to five fellowships annually, each with duration of one week, with a fellowship of 1000 €. Fellows are expected to identify themselves as representing a RIMS member centre (or as individual RIMS membership) prior to application.

In order to attain the fellowship, the fellow needs to fill in the Application form (Attachment 1). In addition, the centre the fellow intends to visit should show that they are able to organise the visit for up to one week (Attachment 2). After this, also The RPEF Refunding form must be fulfilled (Attachment 3) and sent to RIMS Treasurer in order to achieve the fellowship.

The RIMS Executive Board expects a short Evaluation report (Attachment 4) after the visit and it should be sent to Executive Board within three weeks of the visit.

The RFEP Application form, The RFEP Questionnaire, The RFEP Post Evaluation Form and the RFEP Refunding Form can be downloaded from www.rims.be (see links below).
