Dear colleague,

RCSI is delighted to announce that applications are now open for Ireland’s PROGRESS Women in Surgery Fellowship, funded by Olympus.

 

The College is committed to the findings within the PROGRESS: Promoting Gender Equality in Surgery report in 2017 that identified the complex barriers to female progression in surgery and we are seeking to make substantial changes to career pathways for females interested in pursuing a career in surgery. 

 

The PROGRESS Women in Surgery Fellowship is a prestigious bursary awarded by RCSI to promote female participation in surgical training at fellowship level. 

 

The successful candidate will be awarded a Fellowship of €45,000 for one year. She will also be awarded the RCSI PROGRESS Fellowship Medal and her name will be added to the Fellowship in Surgery board, displayed in RCSI. The Fellowship will be presented at the annual RCSI Charter Day Meeting 2023.

 

Please note applications will close on Monday, 7 November 2022 .Fellowship eligibility criteria and application form available here.

 

Regards,

 

RCSI Surgery
