Clinical Training Fellowships

European Respiratory Society (ERS) Clinical Training Fellowships offer early career clinicians the chance to train at an institution outside of their home country for between 1–6 months. The programme aims to enable fellows to learn skills or procedures that are not available at their home institution, supporting the exchange of knowledge and best practices across institutes. This programme is not for research projects. For research projects, please consider exploring the Short-Term Research Fellowships or Long-Term Research Fellowships programmes instead.

Selecting a host institution

In the quest for potential training institutions, the Web Host Registry proved invaluable for ERS fellowship applicants facilitating the identification of potential host institutions. However, please note that the Web Host Registry, initially designed for RESPIRE4, might not perfectly align with the requirements of the Clinical Training Fellowship programme. It is imperative to understand that the responsibility for identifying the most suitable institution and supervisor for the application rests entirely with the applicant. In all instances, the choice of the host institution remains the candidate’s prerogative.
