ASTMH Call for Applicants: Travel Award for Clinical Trainee Case Presentation
The ASTMH invites clinical trainees to submit clinical cases of tropical diseases for the ” Meet the Professor : Trainee Clinical Cases” session. This educational session will showcase clinical cases that have been evaluated, diagnosed and treated by the trainee under faculty supervision at their training facility.
Eligibility:
- Clinical trainees, regardless of ASTMH membership, are welcome to apply. Those who have already won an ASTMH or Subgroup travel award for the 2024 Annual Meeting are not eligible.
- Practicing clinical trainees including medical students, residents and post-doctoral fellows as well as nursing students and allied health students are eligible to apply.
- The submission will identify an interesting, high-yield clinical case in which the clinical trainee provided direct clinical care (under the supervision of a clinical faculty advisor).
- All trainee applicants must have a faculty advisor that supervised the trainee during the clinical encounter and that will support the trainee by reviewing the application and, if selected, aid in developing the student’s presentation. While the faculty advisor is encouraged to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting, funding will not be provided to the supervisor.
- Awardees must be willing to speak at a “Meet-the-Professors” session to discuss their case.
- Travel Award recipients from outside the United States will be responsible for securing a passport that will remain valid for at least six months after the planned return travel date. The Clinical Group will provide a letter of support.
Funding details:
- Awardees will receive up to $1,000 for travel related expenses and a complimentary registration for the 2024 Annual Meeting.
- Travel Award funds provided by the Clinical Group must be used to support meeting registration fee, travel, lodging and other expenses directly associated with participating in the Annual Meeting.
