AANS Accepting Applications for International Visiting Surgeons Fellowship

The AANS is now accepting applications for the 2008 AANS International Visiting Surgeons
Fellowship. This fellowship is an effort by the AANS to assist colleagues in developing countries
with an educational experience at a North American Neurosurgical Training Program. The length
of the fellowship is typically three months, and recipients receive a monthly stipend of $1250 plus
round-trip coach air fare to the fellowship location.

Applicants must be neurosurgeons or neurosurgeons-in-training in a developing country as
defined by the World Bank (list included in links below). Applicants should be on staff at a
local hospital (and preferably medical school) involved in neurosurgical patient care and
neurosurgical education.

Please consider developing an educational plan to study for up to three months at a
Neurosurgical Training Program of your choice in North America, or pass this information on to
an eligible neurosurgery colleague in a developing country.
