Selection and Certification of Trainee

iPATH reserves the rights to select and approve the trainee recommended by “the Healthcare Facility”. This will be done in cooperation with Dr Warf, medical advisor in the program. Once accepted into the training program, iPATH retains the right to certify any and all trainees in the program.

Training candidates must pass competency milestones (periodic evaluation of cognitive and technical progress defined by the iPATH Program Director in Mbale, Uganda). iPATH reserves the right to terminate the training at any point without financial liabilities for the trainee or ‘the Healthcare Facility” for training expenses incurred to date.

The candidate must complete the training to the satisfaction of the iPATH Program Director in Mbale, Uganda (a minimum of three (3) months with right of the iPATH Program Director to require extension of the training if necessary). Only certified iPATH trainees will be eligible for neuroendoscopy support.
