ISIN Advanced Travel Grant
As announced during our last congress in Seoul, ISIN is now ready to offer its brand-new „ISIN advanced travel grant“ of 10.000 € to international applicants. ISIN would like to thank the company Inomed for its support.
This program is not intended to be a fellowship; it does not provide a full IONM-training. It is rather supposed to help experienced monitoring personnel learn the „tricks of the trade“ in specialized centers all over the world, reflecting the high level of ISIN IONM expertise and its international character.
Thus, the IONM-experience offered is not necessarily limited to a single center. Applicants can make their individual pick from a list of IONM-centers associated with and approved by ISIN. Some of these centers may offer the whole range of IONM, and some may offer unusual expertise in specialized aspects of IONM. Applicants are supposed to stay at least for one month with each of the centers on their individual list; overall time scale of the experience with this travel grant is intended to be 3-6 months.
In order to learn more about specific details (potential help with accommodation, types of procedures/IONM offered, etc.), applicants are asked to contact the centers that they are interested in by email (as provided below).
Currently, the list of centers providing training in this program includes, but is not limited to:
- University Hospital of Bellvitge, Barcelona, Spain
- Inselspital University Hospital, Bern, Switzerland
- Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, USA
- University Medical Centre Groningen, Netherlands
- Martin-Luther-University of Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Germany

- Mount Sinai West Hospital, New York, USA
- Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain
