Society of University Surgeons Application Form

The Fellowship Grant covers in part a two-week travel period and pays a grant to the Fellow’s institution of $5,000 ($2,500 each from the ASA and the SUS). The Fellowship grant is ideally suited for mid-level or senior academic surgeons with leadership training who seek a future leadership role and are at the stage in their career to benefit from exposure to a leadership shadowing experience.

Nominations are due May 31, 2020. Three names will be sent to the ASA by June 30, 2020 who will select a primary Fellow and an alternate by August 15, 2020 and notify the candidates and the SUS.

Full Fellowship Grant details are available at americansurgical.org/awards_FellowshipGrant.cgi.
