Description
The Association for Academic Surgery (AAS) and the Colombian Surgical Association (CSA) offer this international visiting professorship to encourage the exchange of ideas and information about clinical, scientific, and policy aspects of surgery. The award supports an AAS member’s travel to Colombia to attend the Colombian National Surgical Congress in 2027, providing a meeting-based opportunity for exchange rather than funding a separate research project.
The professorship is part of AAS’s international visiting professorship portfolio. It is intended for active members with substantial AAS participation, significant surgical research accomplishments, and a full-time academic appointment. The recipient may be asked to present at the Colombian meeting and participates in a reciprocal exchange by hosting the CSA visitor attending the Academic Surgical Congress.
