The International Relations Committee of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) announces the availability of a traveling fellowship to Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), one to Germany, and one to Japan for the year 2020.
The traveling fellowships are intended to encourage international exchange of information concerning surgical science, practice, and education and to establish professional and academic collaborations and friendships. The Traveling Fellows are required to spend a minimum of 2-3 weeks in the countries that they visit. Each carries a stipend of $10,000 for travel, per diem and associated meeting costs.
The awardees will attend and participate in the annual scientific meeting of the host country, then visit several surgical centers in that country tailored to their interests:
Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Melbourne, Australia (May 11–15, 2020)
Society of Surgery, Berlin (April 21-24, 2020)
Japan Surgical Society, Yokohama (April 16-18, 2020)
The extended application deadline for all three traveling fellowships is 28 December 2018.
