Due to technical issues the deadline is extended till 17 May 2023.
Surgery is a very demanding career that requires learning a large number of procedures and countless technical details. Throughout a surgeon’s training and career, education, courses and congresses focus primarily on developing and improving technical skills. However, other talents and skills that are essential to becoming an outstanding surgeon are often neglected during traditional surgical training. With this project, we wish to provide young surgeons and surgical trainees the opportunity to train on non-technical skills, through a series of online masterclasses given by experts and real leaders in surgery of our time.
Eligibility Criteria:
Surgeons and surgical trainees under 40 years.
Members of the EAES.

Demonstrate commitment to attend the EAES Rome Congress.

Short CV (2 pages maximum).
Cover letter describing current stage of training or surgical practice (including surgical specialty), future clinical and research plans, and what you expect from participating in the Rising Stars Academy.
Letter of support from the Head of the Department.

Timeline:
Start of the masterclasses – September 2023.
End of the program – June 2024 (EAES Maastricht Congress)
Outline of the program:
The program will address relevant topics through online masterclasses, taught by experts on leadership and teamwork, education, innovation, equity, safety, sustainability, work-life balance, resilience and personal well-being, as well as academic publications and research.
