Fellows will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate accommodation, locate amenities, etc.). A desk space will be allocated at CUAMM’s headquarter. Full induction (CUAMM’s structure overview, work environment, safety, methods, personal welfare, etc.) will be provided. A tutor will be assigned to the fellow and an initial meeting will be planned to discuss the objectives of the training and the expected mechanisms of their fulfillment. Plans with realistic timelines will then be decided. Fellows will work closely to their tutor and they will be free to engage with him/her in case they require any clarification on the planned work.
Fellows will support the operational research team at CUAMM’s headquarter. They will be given the opportunity to partake in research group meetings, conference call with partners in Africa and other academic activities within CUAMM, including attending relevant courses organized by CUAMM (e.g. Course on Public Health). Fellows will also be encouraged to present their work orally at a research group meeting at least once before they complete their visit.
Towards the end of the training, the tutor will have a meeting with the fellow to discuss plans to publish their work (if enough data collected) or disseminate their findings. They will also be assisted to identify existing or future opportunities, globally or within their original work environment, that the training has empowered them to be eligible and competitive for and how they can be assisted to access them and also integrate the knowledge and skills gained into their further research or professional practice roles.
All throughout the training any peculiar challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.

The Doctors with Africa Public Health traineeship was a good one as the organization was a non-governmental organization which focused on public health issues in some parts of Africa. I was introduced to the work they do as well as the research that was being carried out. I was allowed to choose a research topic and guided in writing a research article using the extensive data they had. The host mentors had a meeting with me just to know what I hoped to achieve and learn and they were able to do just that. It was a comfortable and enabling environment. There is hope for long-term collaboration. Areas of improvement for me would be better guidance as regards options of accommodation, settling in Italy and a structured learning target per day as some days felt like there was nothing to do. I am okay for future fellows to contact me for more information.
The training program in Italy, with CUAMM, Doctors with Africa was an excellent, well-executed program and a very good learning experience. Dr. Giovanni was my mentor, and I had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally under his able guidance. It was a short term opportunity but I have developed a long term association both with him and CUAMM as an organization. CUAMM is doing some exceptional work in Sub-Saharan Africa and its privilege to learn from them and be associated with them. Areas of improvement: Not really, but I think there can be a more strategic plan with timelines for implementation of the work plan. I would be happy to help if anyone needs my help.
