Mentorship Reunion

Robert Hegarty, Young ESPGHAN

The ESPGHAN Mentorship Programme began in 2017 with the aim to create a platform for Young ESPGHAN members to form a relationship with a Senior ESPGHAN member who will offer pastoral support to the young member. After a break in the programme, ESPGHAN Mentorship was launched in a new shape in 2022, a hybrid format. There are currently 10 pairs enrolled in the Mentorship Programme 2022 and 10 more pairs will join in the 2023 edition.

The Mentorship Programme 2022 follows a structured timeline which started with a virtual workshop in May 2022 provided by „Matt Driver Consulting” on positive mentoring, followed by a face to face meeting of mentor-mentee during Annual Meeting in Copenhagen 2022 and then by 3 virtual mentor-mentee meetings.

To strengthen the relation between mentors and their mentees, we would like to provide a dedicated time and space during the Annual meeting every year, where the pairs can meet and discuss their goals. This would very well fit into the lunch break on Wednesday, when they can enjoy lunch over an informal catch-up talk.

Aims of the Mentorship Programme:

1) To create a platform of interaction between junior and senior ESPGHAN members:

• Offering a welcome for junior members to ESPGHAN
• Building a professional network of young and senior members within the society
• Building a foundation of trainees for who will become ESPGHAN members in the future and promote further young members to contribute to the society
• Enhancing the development of both mentors and mentees

2) To provide a mentoring for Young ESPGHAN members:

• Giving insight to the functioning of the society and possibilities within ESPGHAN
• Providing pastoral support to young members to help develop their career path

Career Coach: How to Write a Motivation Letter & a CV

One of the main aims of Young ESPGHAN Committee is to promote high quality training and disseminate resources and training opportunities to its members. Furthermore, we thrive through our members and it is our mission to support our community grow into successful PGHN leaders as well as further pillars of the society.

Every participation to an event starts by writing a successful application, and inevitably that includes preparing a motivation letter and a CV.

These skills are not part of the medical curricula and it is therefore up to each individual to provide a competitive application. Young ESPGHAN recognises the differences in access to resources among our members and would like to promote equity of access to training by providing a short face to face professional training on how a trainee should present her/himself.

Young ESPGHAN Session

The Young ESPGHAN Session has traditionally been the oldest Young ESPGHAN activity at the Annual meeting. This is a one hour free of charge and open to all workshop on non PGHN topic, but relevant to our daily practice in and out of hospital.

The aim is to provide interactive training on soft skills delivered by a top speaker selected from the country hosting the annual meeting. Depending on the focus and relevance at the time, Young ESPGHAN Committee proposes a topic and speaker to the scientific committee.

From passion to profession. A musical approach

What do musicians and doctors have in common? Hard work, commitment, passion, overachievers, dedication. Gut feeling? Or maybe gut brain-axis… Learn how to cope with emotions during performance…. Or how to sink in and turn emotions into success.
