Resident Research Travel Awards

Resident Research Travel Awards

Goal

  • The goal of this program is to enable residents to pursue scholarly experiences at national scientific meetings.

Eligibility 

Guidelines 

  • Travel must be to a national orthopaedic (or sub-specialty) or basic science meeting (e.g, AAOS, OTA, ORS).  Professional training is not eligible for a travel award.
