News
The Pediatric Neurosurgery Section of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons
and Congress of Neurological Surgeons has established 1) a
resident traveling fellowship for neurosurgeons in-training in accredited
North American residency programs, as well as 2) an
international traveling fellowship for neurosurgeons who, at the time of their
application are either training in a residency program outside the U.S. and Canada,
or who have completed such residency training within the past five years.
The fellowships will cover the traveling and living expenses for a three-month period
to be spent observing the activities of an established Pediatric Neurosurgical service
of the applicant’s choosing in the United States or Canada. Up to two national and
two international fellowships will be awarded yearly on the basis of a competitive
evaluation by a committee of the Pediatric Section at the annual meeting in December.
The maximum fellowship stipend is $2500 for the national award and $5000 for the
international award.
