About the Resident Scholar Travel Awards
The Resident Scholar Travel Awards are designed to encourage promising medical residents to attend the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Annual Meeting, to be held November 2-6, 2007 in Boston, Massachusetts.
The AASLD and American Liver Foundation (ALF) Boards of Directors have identified as a high priority the need to sustain the “pipeline” of physician scientists and academic clinicians into the field of hepatology and liver transplantation, and believe that identifying promising young residents would be a potential mechanism to achieve this goal.
By exposing residents to the excitement of the AASLD Annual Meeting and giving them the opportunity to meet leaders in hepatology, we hope to stimulate these residents to pursue hepatology as a career.
Objective
These travel awards are designed to promote the study of hepatology among residents who have potential for a career in academic medicine who might be interested in choosing adult or pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology, hepatopathology, GI radiology with an emphasis on hepatobiliary imaging, or liver transplantation as their career focus.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for this award, the applicant must conform to the following guidelines:
• Have completed their first or second year of residency training by July 1 of the year of application
• Have the potential to pursue a career in academic medicine
• Be not yet committed to a particular field of specialization
• Have completed their first through fourth year of residency training by July 1 of the year of application for surgical residents
• Women and people of color are encouraged to apply
