Resident Traveling Fellowship in Pediatric Neurosurgery
The Joint Pediatric Neurosurgery Section of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Congress of Neurological Surgeons has established a traveling fellowship for residents in accredited North American neurosurgical training programs. The fellowship is intended to cover the traveling and living expenses for one month for a resident who wishes additional experience in Pediatric Neurosurgery during residency.
The one-month fellowship can be spent at any pediatric neurosurgery program within North America to pursue an activity which broadens the resident’s exposure to Pediatric Neurosurgery, including observation at a clinical or research center, participation in a research project, or any other relevant activity.
Two fellowships per year are awarded on the basis of a competitive evaluation by a committee of the Joint Pediatric Section. The maximum fellowship stipend is $2500.
The application must include:
- A statement defining the purpose of the proposed fellowship;
- Written permission from the applicant’s residency program director to pursue the one-month fellowship if it is awarded;
- A letter of acceptance from the Pediatric Neurosurgical program where the applicant will seek the fellowship;
- The applicant’s current CV.
The strict deadline for application submission is Oct 30, 2024. The completed application should be emailed to Jason Blatt and Eric Thompson at pedssectionfellowships@gmail.com.
