SELECTION CRITERIA
ASNEMGE has adopted as a major task the promotion of clinical and scientific abilities of young gastroenterologists in Europe, either being still in training or in an early phase of their professional career.
The selection of participants in ASNEMGE PG courses is democratic and based on the age and professional status of the candidate, the support by the candidate’s national society, an equal geographic/national spread of the acceptance, a good gender distribution, and the exclusion of repetition. ASNEMGE considers especially age, gender and national distribution.
For ASNEMGE Summer Schools following selection criteria are especially taken in account:
- Candidates either in a later phase of clinical post-graduate training or in an early career phase as medical, surgical or imaging gastroenterologist/hepatologist
- Interest in evidence-based medicine with understanding for pathogenetically based management approaches
- Eagerness to interact with fellow course participants and faculty
- Equal geographic and national contribution from Europe and the Mediterranean area is observed in the selection
- Support of the candidate by national societies is regarded as positive
- ASNEMGE prefers those who have not participated in the course before
- Age limit around 40 years, but can be reconsidered according to special training and career circumstances in the country of origin.
The above rules have no absolute delimitations and certainly no legal weight. ASNEMGE tries it best to accept as many as possible qualified persons to the courses and also to increase the frequency of the educational activities.
