The ISH Mentorship Scheme is an exciting scheme designed to bring together New Investigators (students and hypertension researchers who are within 10 years of a doctoral degree) and more experienced investigators.

The Scheme is an initiative of the ISH Mentorship and Training Committee (MTC). Any ISH member, associate member or trainee can apply to be a mentee. Members in our professional category can be mentors.

If you have an interest in being a mentor or mentee, please sign in to the Members Area to register to join the Mentorship Scheme.
