Dear Dr. Gutierrez,
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is pleased to announce it is accepting applications for the 2008 International Surgical Skills Scholarship Program. AAOS will award four $4,000.00 scholarships to international orthopaedic surgeons for the intended purpose to travel to the United States to attend a hands-on orthopaedic surgical skills course with cadaveric specimens in the Orthopaedic Learning Center in Rosemont, Illinois, USA.
AAOS offers four scholarships each year on a rotating basis to orthopaedic surgeons in one of four geographic regions of the world. The selection of the geographic region rotation is made by the AAOS International Committee. For the 2008 scholarship year, applications will be accepted from qualified orthopaedic surgeons residing and working Central and South America, and the Caribbean starting from January 10, 2008.
Eligible orthopaedists are invited to apply online by completing the International Scholarship Application, submitting two letters of recommendation, and proof of their membership in their national or regional orthopaedic association. The due date is February 18, 2008.
