The award supports travel to the West African College of Surgeons (WACS) annual meeting, encouraging members of both organizations to exchange ideas and information about the clinical, scientific, and policy aspects of surgery.
The fellowship supports meeting participation and professional exchange rather than a separate research project. The described visit is to the WACS annual meeting in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. In addition to attending the meeting, the recipient may be asked to give presentations at the WACS annual conference and will host the WACS visitor attending the Academic Surgical Congress.
