ASPO Visiting International Scholar Program

Purpose: 

To assist otolaryngologists from outside the U.S.A. to attend the annual ASPO meeting.   

Goals: 

— to train otolaryngologists from countries other than the US and Canada so they can return to teach colleagues and raise the standard of pediatric otolaryngology care.

— to create relationships with sister institutions or national societies.

Funding: 

From 2012-2017, a $1000 scholarship is available each year to assist with annual meeting registration fees and travel expenses. The international visiting scholar will be required to pay all expenses beyond the $1000.   Additional scholarships may be available depending on donations.

Application process:

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest and Curriculum Vitae (CV) outlining his/her medical training and current position to Anna Messner, MD (amessner@ohns.stanford.edu).   Within the letter the applicant should discuss how attending the meeting will assist him/her with their future medical practice, and the training of other otolaryngologists.   

Application deadline: 

January 2 of each year.   Awards will be announced Feb 1 of each year.
