Edward B. Diethrich Endovascular Traveling Fellowships

The Edward B. Diethrich Vascular Surgical Society (EBDVSS) International Traveling Fellowship was established to broaden the educational experience of a cardiac or vascular surgical resident interested in endovascular surgery during their final year of training by providing an opportunity for travel to one or more established Centers of Excellence in the applicant’s field of interest.  One award will be granted to a North American resident to support research and/or enhancement of endovascular skills at a host institution abroad in hopes of stimulating academic inspiration, promoting international exchange and fostering fraternal fellowship. A second award will be granted to an International (non-North American) resident for travel to a North American Center of Excellence

The grant of $7,500 will be provided to the successful applicants to underwrite their travel and living expenses incurred during a maximum of three weeks of training at one or more Endovascular Centers of Excellence. The funds are also intended to provide for roundtrip travel and accommodations at the International Congress XXII on Endovascular Interventions scheduled for February 8-12, 2009 in Scottsdale, AZ.  Registration for the Congress and all related events will be covered by the EBDVSS.  Fellowship travel must be completed prior to January 1, 2009.

Applicants must have approval from their home and prospective host institutions. The application consists of a one-page proposal summarizing what the applicant hopes to accomplish during their training, a current curriculum vitae and a cover letter outlining their career goals. Additionally, award recipients must agree to present a summary of their experience at the International Congress. For application form click here.
