The mentorship program award aims to guide trainees or medical students seeking guidance for clinical or basic research in the vascular access field. Ideally, the applicant has an interest in the research area and has completed a research proposal. All awardees will be mentored by the mentorship committee, consisting of 4-6 experienced physician-scientists in the field. Awardees will meet with the mentorship committee every 2 months to discuss research strategies, data collection, analysis, and data interpretation.
