Funds are intended to cover travel, per diem, and to subsidize lost clinical revenue from days away from clinical duties. Applicants must be graduates of medical schools who have completed surgical training and be U.S. or Canadian Fellows or Associate Fellows of the American College of Surgeons at or below the rank of Associate Professor; mentors should be U.S./Canadian Fellows of the College or, where appropriate, qualified non-surgical/non-medical experts.
