Traveling Fellowship Program

 

The 2019 application period is now closed. Award recipients will be announced in March at AOFAS Specialty Day in Las Vegas.

The Traveling Fellowship Program offers a special opportunity for early-career AOFAS members to attend the AOFAS Annual Meeting and visit leading foot and ankle research and educational institutions. The program is open to AOFAS Active, Candidate, and International Members who are 45 years old or younger at the time of application. Applicants must be available for the full two-week experience, September 8-22, 2019.

At host sites, Traveling Fellows will observe operating rooms, learn new surgical techniques alongside accomplished surgeons, and present their own research and clinical experiences. The program aims to promote professional relationships, exchange ideas, and encourage new thinking on research and clinical care topics.
