International EM Rotation Scholarship

Purpose of Award

Due to COVID19 travel restrictions, this award is currently not accepting applications.

This Scholarship assists an exemplary resident with the costs associated with an elective in International Medicine that engages the evolution of Emergency Medicine in environments where there is such a need. It is the applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate how his or her presence in-country will positively influence EM’s growth; the applicant should specifically define a goal in this regard.

Note: Funds will not be awarded to a resident completing a rotation that has been previously established by his or her own residency, unless the resident seeks to undertake something new.
