I am very excited to have been awarded one of this year’s fellowship grants as I have been offered the great opportunity to join one of the foremost lung transplant units in the world for a 12 month clinical fellowship at the Vienna Lung Transplant Program later this year. This will get me fully involved and exposed to the cutting edge of our field and hopefully be able to tie invaluable links between our units in Vienna and Freeman and help further elevate the attention to the ESOT in the cardiothoracic transplant community. I am very grateful for all the support that I have received from my seniors in Gothenburg, Newcastle, Leuven and Vienna who have opened this door and made this fellowship possible. Thank you!
