2010 APPLICATION FOR INTERNATIONAL
TRAVELING FELLOW TO THE AMERICAN SOCIETY
FOR SURGERY OF THE HAND

Purpose: The American Society for Surgery of the Hand invites official IFSSH recognized Hand Societies to support a Traveling Fellow visit to the United States.

Process: The visiting fellow should be selected by a participating country’s Hand Society through a formal process. The participating country should provide the recipient’s name and year of award, along with a copy of the recipient’s CV, to the Administrative Coordinator of the ASSH. It is recommended that the recipient send his/her photograph, as this is needed for the brief presentation the recipient usually makes at the ASSH Annual Meeting. The ASSH Traveling Fellowship Committee Chair will waive the qualifying fellow’s registration fee for attendance at the ASSH Annual Meeting and will assist the International Traveling Fellow in making contacts for visits to hand surgery centers in the U.S., should this be desired. All travel, housing and meal costs will be the responsibility of the Traveling Fellow or their sponsoring country’s Hand Society. This award is limited to one participant per calendar year representing a participating country’s Hand Society.
