Mesot Fellowship Program - Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation - Karachi

MESOT Fellowship Program (MFP) is an initiative aimed at promoting and advancing organ transplantation in unreserved areas of the Middle East by helping them to establish local transplantation programs or to improve an existing program. The fellowship program gives a great opportunity to the young physicians and surgeons from this region willing to acquire some particular skills related to various aspects of organ transplantation and provides them with specific and hands-on training opportunities in host institutions. MESOT Fellows return home to share new skills related to various aspects of organ transplantation and provides them with specific and hands-on training opportunities in host institutions. MESOT Fellows return home to share new skills and knowledge in medical and surgical transplantation and improve local standards.

The selection mechanism relies on five factors, on the top to which is the availability of transplant activity of a given country and a written commitment by the applicant indication his or her intent to return home upon completion of training to establish transplant unit at home center; in addition to affiliation and suitability of the applicant’s center, academic position and age of the applicant. The application for MFP is online through MESOT website: www.mesot-tx.org The 30^th of June of each year is the deadline to apply for MFP.

Our mission is too ambitious and we do have several challenges funding the program, expanding its services to all underserved areas in the Middle East, Accepting more fellows every year, Promoting deceased donor transplantation, Promoting research collaboration between institutions, Training in specific transplant fields (e.g. heart, Lung, BMT, islet cells).
