I completed Dr. DB Gupta/EAN research experience fellowship 2016 in the Epilepsy center (Epilepsihospitalet) Filadelfia, Dianalund, Denmark under Professor Sandor Beniczky. It was my first ever visit to abroad which gave me the learning experience of all the processes apart from successful completion of the project.

The chief of the neurology department at Unna Evangelical Hospital, Prof. Zaza Katsarava ( Professor of Neurology at the University of Essen) kindly accepted my attendance  at his department. The Evangelical Hospital in Unna is a multiprofile hospital, with a 75 bed inpatient department of Neurology.

It has been a great honour for me to be awarded with the EAN Research fellowship. The EAN Research Experience Fellowship allowed me to spend more than one year at the Oxford University, in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG). It has been a life changing experience for me.

During the general assembly of the Resident and Research Fellow Section (RRFS) on June 26, 2017 it was concluded that an update of the RRFS membership criteria was needed. Many neurologists in training across Europe conduct a postgraduate degree such as Master or MD or PhD program after their residency and these people should still be eligible as RRFS members until 3 years since their latest degree as we believe the RRFS section is relevant for them during this period.
