The VA-ACS announces the establishment of a yearly grant to provide offset of travel expenses for Surgical Residents in the state who are interested in participating in programs to deliver surgical care as part of Humanitarian missions to under-developed countries.
Initially, two $750 annual grants will be awarded with the monies to be used within the calendar year. This year’s application deadline will be December 31, 2008.
To qualify, an applicant must be a resident or fellow in good standing at an accredited residency/fellowship program within the state of Virginia in either General Surgery, Urology, Orthopedics, Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics/Gynecology or Plastic Surgery.
Preference will be given to applicants who can demonstrate affiliation with a mission that will provide surgical care under educational supervision. A sub-committee of the Board of Directors of the VA-ACS will judge applications. A letter of recommendation from the Program director will be required to verify good standing within the training program.
